At Millbrook Primary School we value learning and see it as a life long process. We seek to create an open and creative school where all are valued, supported and challenged. Everyone receives regular praise and encouragement to be the best they can possibly be. Our learning community is based on honesty, integrity, motivation and responsibility borne out of mutual respect.
Millbrook Primary School is a 1.5 form entry primary school in the residential area of Freshbrook, Swindon. It has an annual intake of 45 pupils (1.5 form), which results in some mixed year group classes. Millbrook Primary School benefits from a stunningly designed, modern, light, purpose-built building which opened in 2009.
In March 2024 Millbrook joined Grove Learning Trust and we are excited about all the new opportunities we will be able to give the children and staff at Millbrook, as part of a larger organisation.
