What an exciting opportunity Woodgrove's family hub. Please email the address below to secure a free place at their time to shine group. Places are limited due to the nature of the group but if your child struggles with larger after school clubs this may be worth securing a place on!

And just like that we are BACK! Milstead has been a hive of activity and happiness this week. We have welcomed in our new reception class and they have flourished, we couldn't be prouder!

Acorns have settled back into some project work, making Mildred some water proof carriers for her journey to Mrs Smiths car on a rainy day.

Oaks have been really busy and excitedly received their leadership roles, along side others in celebration worship this afternoon!

We excited for the year ahead! BRING IT ON!

We are so excited to see you all back to school tomorrow, we have missed you all dearly! Mildred is back and ready to welcome you all tomorrow.

Following on from my email earlier - I have spoken to highways - there are a number of homes without electricity in the village. Where the blue X's are on the picture is where they are going to place traffic lights tomorrow morning. Whilst these will stop before school lane, please allow time for the traffic lights or make your way around and up Frinsted lane. Please also be mindful of this at pick-up time as well.

We are looking forward to welcoming you all back.

🌟 A huge well done to Oaks Class for their wonderful summer performance of Porridge! 🌟

Our pupils took to the stage with confidence, enthusiasm and plenty of character, bringing the story to life brilliantly for everyone watching. We are so proud of the effort, teamwork and creativity they showed throughout rehearsals and on the day itself 🎭👏

Thank you to all the staff who supported the performance and helped make it such a special celebration of the children’s hard work... it was nothing short of a Broadway performance!
