iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).About Milldene School is a safe, happy and ambitious community where every child and their family are valued. Confidence, creativity and curiosity enable each child to discover a world of possibilities. 'Living and Learning Together' at Milldene School we aim to: Give children an experience and knowledge of the wider world.
Develop an awareness of the world through first hand experience. Help our children to develop enquiring minds, through exploration and discovery, within a carefully managed learning environment. Use the whole school environment to provide areas of stimulation, privacy and quiet. Develop the confidence, self-esteem and independence of our children.
Help our children to show consideration and respect for others and develop an understanding of other cultures and beliefs. Ensure our children have an understanding that they have responsibilities as well as rights, which help them in valuing the feelings, interests and views of all members of the community.
