About

Welcome to the Millstead Primary School website. I hope that it will give you a good insight into our happy and successful school where children love to be. Millstead is an amazing provision full of wonderful people.

We are a special school for fantastic children aged 2 - 11 years, who have profound & multiple learning difficulties (PMLD), severe learning difficulties (SLD) and complex autism. We have a staff team of dedicated, passionate and highly skilled practitioners who strive to make every day a joyful learning day for every pupil.

We have 2 sites - one in the North of the city (Iliad Street, L5), and one in the South (Naylorsfield Road, L27). From September 2025, the total number of pupils on roll will be 314.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
