We're delighted to announce that our Easter Egg Raffle this year raised an enormous £630 for Essex Air Ambulance.

 

Thank you to all the staff who donated the raffle prizes, to Mrs Moore and the Year 6 children who co-ordinated the raffle and ticket sales and, most of all, to all the children who bought their tickets in order to support this very worthy cause.

 

In light of our concerns about the current direction of travel for the ‘X’ platform (formerly Twitter) and some parental preferences expressed, we have made the decision to cease posting on X and to open a school Instagram account in its place.

 

The purpose will be to keep you as up to date and informed as we can via a social media platform you are (hopefully) happier to engage with.

 

Instagram will not replace direct communications from the school but will serve as an additional opportunity to engage with the wider school community and keep you up to date.

 

You will be able to follow the school Instagram by scanning the QR code or searching for @mildmay.primary Thank you for your continued feedback and support

To help those looking to apply for a place at Mildmay, we have just added details of the 'Priority Admissions Area (catchment)' to our Admissions page. This area relates to category 4 of our admissions policy.

 

Please take a look to see if your address falls within our catchment boundary.

YoungMinds and M&S are inviting young people to enter their brand-new design competition! Young people aged 5 - 16 are asked to create a design for a new hoodie or sweatshirt – with the chance to have their design sold in M&S stores and online later this year.

 

All profits from the sales will support YoungMinds to help them keep fighting for young people’s mental health. As well as having their design sold at M&S, the winning young person will receive:  

• An invite with their parent or carer to visit M&S’s London support centre and see their design transformed into artwork, or to tour the supplier factory in the Midlands and watch them be printed.  
• The opportunity to participate in the product launch this September.  
• Sweatshirts or hoodies for their whole class to wear for Hello Yellow on 10th October.  

 

To take part, young people have been asked to create a design for either a hoodie or a sweatshirt inspired by what they would say to a friend who needs them. Designs must be submitted by 11.59pm on Monday 31st March.  

 

Your child will be bringing their design (or a template) home in the next few days and if you would like to enter them into the competition, please follow the instructions on the sheet. To find out more about the competition and to submit your child’s completed design visit: https://mnsyoungdesignercompetition.powerappsportals.com  

 

YoungMinds have resources for parents and carers to find help and advice if you’re ever concerned about a child or young person. You can find this on their website: www.youngminds.org.uk/parent. 

Thank you to FOMPS for the fundraising last term and a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who donated (by any means) to support the school!

 

£5974 - Wow!

The entire Mildmay community was devastated to learn of the untimely passing of Julie, a long-serving member of staff, during the Christmas break.

 

Julie was a wonderful personality and a great friend and colleague. She was very caring, compassionate and committed to all the children she worked with. Julie treated every day with our children as a privilege and gave them her all.

 

We have opened a book of condolence that can be accessed in the lower school foyer. The book will be available for memories and messages until Thursday 23rd January and presented to Julie's family at her funeral the following day.

 

All those in the Mildmay community who wish to do so, are invited to add their messages, well-wishes and thoughts.

 

 

 

 

To help out families in our community, FOMPs are accepting winter coat donations for a pre-loved coat sale this November.

 

Any clean coat in wearable condition that could be used from Nursery to Year 6 is welcome. Please hand in to either school reception office to get it to FOMPS!

Little Robins Nursery is an important part of Mildmay Primary School and the children are very much part of the whole school community. Little Robins share the same vision and values as the rest of the school and also share the same motto:

 

“Growing, caring and learning together; meeting challenges, making the most of opportunities and enjoying the journey”.

 

We are firm believers that children will grow and learn best if they are engaged in and enjoying the experience. Therefore, Little Robins Nursery will always seek to put your child’s wellbeing and engagement at the heart of our decision making in order that all children have the opportunity to be the best version of themselves, explore and find their talents and interests and make progress towards their full potential.

 

Our nursery provision is open to children aged 3+ (from the school term after their third birthday). Little Robins is housed in two well-equipped indoor classrooms and a dedicated outside learning environment. We are constantly seeking to ensure that these are ever more exciting spaces for children to begin their learning journey with us.

 

All school and nursery staff are friendly, approachable and happy to answer any questions you may have. As valued individuals we all belong to a respectful, caring, unique community where we grow together through fun, active learning.

 

We are now taking 'Requests for Nursery Provision' for January and April 2025 - go to our nursery pages to download a form.

It’s that time of year when the supermarkets and farm shops are full of pumpkins just waiting for you and your children to get creative. We’re challenging any families that wish to get together, get creative and be part of our annual competition to submit an entry on the last day of this half term.

 

We have no issues with parents and older siblings lending a hand with the designs to allow the youngest members of our school to get involved (we’re thinking that sharp implements are best left to adults). We also know that not everyone agrees with the celebration of Halloween, so the challenge is completely open-ended with all themes or designs (spooky or non-spooky) welcome.

 

Entries should be brought to school on 25^th October (last day of this half term) and be displayed for all to see on the front field area, next to the Year 1 & 2 playground. Please collect a Flag/Label from us when you present your competition entry. We will also be taking a voluntary £1 entry fee to support the purchase of Year 6 Leavers Hoodies for Summer 2025, although your child’s pumpkin will be included in the competition regardless of donation.

 

If, for any reason, you are unable to get your pumpkin to school, please take a photo and send it with your child’s name and class to competition@mildmayprimary.org no later than 6pm on Thursday 24^th October.

 

Winners will be chosen and prizes given out during the celebration assembly that afternoon and pumpkins can then be taken away at the end of the same day so they can decorate your homes for Halloween during the half-term break.

 

Enjoy being creative together!
