We are really pleased to share some exciting news with you!

After a lot of thought and discussion, we have decided to take a big step forward by collaborating with other schools to create ‘Four Hills Education Trust’. The Department for Education has given us approval (an academy order) for us to make it happen.  An “academy order” is the official approval from the government that lets us become an academy and join this trust. This is a fantastic opportunity to build on what we already love about Millbrook Primary School and Nursery and make the future even brighter for our children. 

What does this mean for the school community? 

By teaming up with some great local schools, we can share ideas, resources, and support to give our children the best education possible. This is the group of schools who are joining us on this journey: 

• Albrighton Primary School & Nursery 

• Woodlands Primary School & Nursery 

• William Reynolds Primary School & Nursery 

• Meadows Primary School & Nursery 

These schools care just as much as we do about giving children the very best education, and together, we are confident we can do some amazing things for our pupils, staff, and community. 

Why this is good news  

• Working Together: We will share the best ideas and tools with our partner schools. 

• Better Learning: More training for our teachers and new resources to use. 

• Smarter Spending: Teaming up helps us save money and plan for the future. 

• Extras for Children: More clubs, activities, and chances to connect with other schools. 

• Keeping Our Uniqueness: We will still hold onto what makes Millbrook special, even as   part of a bigger team. 

We value your input and would appreciate to hear your thoughts. To ensure your voice is heard, we have arranged several opportunities for you to get involved.
