Millfield Primary School

Millfield Primary School is a close-​knit community school in the heart of Fazeley in Tamworth.
My stepson has attended there since pre-​school, and has always had the best care.
The teachers are all very kind, and the parents form a great community. Most of the football coaches and Cubs leaders in the Tamworth area are parents or teachers at Millfield.
The best thing about the school is its community focus, doing events within the community and encouraging Tamworthians to be involved in its activities.
My stepson has special needs, and when it was discovered that his educational needs were going to be more challenging than originally thought, the Headmaster approached us to plan out some goals and objectives, and to try and deal with my stepson’s needs in the most caring way.
Since 2005, he has had a government-​funded special needs classroom assistant who works with him for 18 hours per week. His teachers always try hard to involve him as much as possible in «normal» classroom activities. They are very quick to stamp out any bullying, often calling school assemblies to discuss a particular type of bullying that may have occured.
The special needs coordinator clearly loves her job, and cares very much about all the children she deals with.
For a community school, this is a great one.
