Milldown CE Academy 🌈

Tip number 1 is the most important

So proud of this pupil. What a star ✨

It was a lovely service and we are very much looking forward to celebrating on the 1st December with a Teddy Bears picnic

So proud of our Community Leaders today. They represented the school excellently at our local Remembrance Service.

So proud of Xander, living out our vision and making a positive difference to the world. Singlehandedly, he has raised over £200 for Save the Children and the current conflict in Israel and Gaza. Xander you are an inspiration. #InspireBelieveAchieve

‘Why should a teacher be forced to reinvent the wheel by themselves? Every school should have a clear behaviour policy’: DfE behaviour adviser @tombennett71 told Tes earlier this year that a whole-school approach is vital to tackle low-level disruption tes.com/magazine/teach…

Very excited to welcome Maddie Tarrant from Team GB to Milldown today as part of our Hopes and Aspirations theme. sportsforchampions.com/maddi-tarrant/

Very impressed with the outcome of one of our coronation activities. All children at Milldown are represented in this beautiful display. We've even got the Red Arrows.

What an experience it was for some of our families today, watching the @EnglandRugby Red Roses win another grand slam title with a record breaking crowd of 58,000+ people! #RedRoses #Twickenham #InspireBelieveAchieve

Yesterday was a special day. Not one, not two, but three special visitors. Thank you Mark Lacey @thedsat , Bishop Stephen @bishopsarum and Rev Beaumont @chrisbeaumont_ for your time and wisdom.

It was great to see the children working collaboratively across the school to create artwork inspired by ClareThompsonArt.com for World Book Day 2023! #WBD2023 #InspireBelieveAchieve

Some of our Eco Leadership Group working hard on cleaning the bike shelter. What a great team effort. Everyone is going to be so impressed with their hard work. They have made a positive difference to our school community. Inspire-Believe-Achieve.

World Book Day fun! Alvin, Theodore and Simon held my chair to ransom, switching it for a tiny one. It cost a packet of cheese balls to get it back 😂

Today the whole school joined in the national minute silence to mark a year since the tragic invasion of Ukraine.

Sad day today. We said goodbye to Mrs Brightman who has supported so many of our children and families. She did get to enjoy some guinea pig time with some of our pupils. Thank you Mrs Brightman.

The children loved watching @MandMTheatrical production of Aladdin this afternoon. Thank you to the Friends of Milldown for funding this wonderful opportunity! 🧞‍♂️🐪 #InspireBelieveAchieve

Teachers who have turned up day after day, term after term, year after year - being told they aren’t ‘trauma informed’ enough. They are, in fact, ‘trauma healing’ by being there as that consistent and unshakeable presence in every child’s life. Some truly don’t get this.
