Moving on

What an amazing year –and all over already! I cannot believe that it is the end of another aca-

demic year at Millfields, and for me a special anniversary, as the end of this term, marks the end

of my 25th year at Millfields as NQT, class teacher, subject leader, SENCO, Deputy Head and for

the last 5 years, Head teacher. It has been an amazing journey and I feel extremely privileged to

have worked with so many talented, commi/ed and special individuals in all areas of the school.

And I feel especially privileged to have worked with so many brilliant children and their families

and I truly feel like a part of this community. Thank you to everyone who I have met on my way –

you have made it such a great job to come to every single day.

And this year, there have been so many great events and so many curriculum learning highlights,

that I do not know where to begin. We started this week by the Year 5 children winning the Inter-

London Chess tournament –they were brilliant and really made us all proud of the way they have

taken on the challenge of learning to play chess this year, and then developed the skills needed

to play compe33vely. Well done to all the children in Year5, but especially the ones who compet-

ed and won! We will be con3nuing this ini3a3ve in Year 5 again next year.

Also this week, the children from the Arsenal Double Club made their annual trip to the Emirates

Stadium as their end of year treat. We found out that Millfields is actually the longest-serving

school that has been commi/ed to this football and learning club that children love! Thank you to

Sharon and Dwayne for all their support and enthusiasm. (Of course it is probably quite easy for

them as they are Arsenal fans!)

Year 3 children rounded off their topic on the Tudors this week, by holding a special Tudor Ban-

quet that was organised by the teachers and Leea, our Catering Manger. They all looked the part

and certainly tucked in to a very authen3c meal and drank pints of ale! (non-alcoholic of course!)

And if your ever need your car washed –look no further because the Nursery and Recep3on clas-

ses have been running their very own car-washing enterprise over the last 2 weeks. The child

have had a fantas3c 3me visi3ng the local carwash, and then washing staff cars in the school

playground. They had great fun and learnt about managing their own business at the same 3me.

Finally, we were all treated to the Year 6 end of year show, and what an outstanding perfor-

mance it was too! The children (and staff), all worked so hard to produce, Joseph the musical,

probably the best show we have seen for many years. There were plenty of staff and parents with

a tear in their eye. Well done Year6, and hope that you will all have a good break before embark-

ing on the next part of your learning journey at secondary school. You have been an amazing

group of children to work with, so I hope you will come back to let us know how you are ge>ng

on. Good luck!

And last, but certainly not least, we are saying a heart-felt goodbye and a huge ‘thank you’ to

some members of staff who are moving on to many varied and exci3ng ventures in the UK and

the rest of the world! Farewell to teachers -Leon, Cheryl, Gemma, Nicole, Clyde and Sara, and to

support staff –Omrum, Emma, James, Mahalia and Claire. I know you will join me in thanking

them for all their work at Millfields, and wishing them all good luck for the future!

Have a great summer break, and see you on Wednesday 3rd September. Best Wishes, Jane
