Millfield was inspected in February 2024 and was judged to be a Good school with an Outstanding EYFS.
Millfield is a school and nursery with an aspirational and supportive culture where everybody strives for the children to achieve their best. We chose to join The Elliot Foundation Academies Trust – a trust that recognises and celebrates the fact that schools will all ‘do things differently’ depending on their context and so therefore there is no ‘corporate mould’. The school and Trust are committed to supporting teachers in their own professional development and providing opportunities to develop career prospects.
Littleport is a small town close to Ely in East Anglia. It is on the direct rail line from London to Cambridge, Ely and Kings Lynn (just over an hour from Kings Cross) and so is easily accessible.
If this interests you, please contact Mrs Emma Andrews (HR Manager) HR@millfieldprimary.org for an application pack.
Visits to the school are warmly welcomed.
Millfield Primary is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The Academy will require the successful candidate to provide satisfactory references and undertake an Enhanced Check with the Disclosure and Barring Service.
