We visited a diverse Telford primary school undergoing a major makeover and found a thriving community with big plans for its future
With new facilities, new partnerships and a bold vision for its pupils, this Telford primary school is stepping confidently into its next chapter at the heart of a diverse community.
At Millbrook Primary School and Nursery in Telford, the past year has reshaped more than the site - it’s strengthened the spirit that runs through the school.
Headteacher Joanne Edwards, who has worked at the school for 12 years but took over at the helm in January, said it's been a big year for the Leegomery primary.
“This year marks an exciting period of transformation for Millbrook,” she said, explaining that the past twelve months have brought one of the most significant development programmes in the school’s history.
The changes are impossible to miss. A brand-new hall and kitchen now sit at the heart of the school, alongside two state-of-the-art Year 6 classrooms designed to give older pupils the space they need to thrive.
There's a new area for staff and wraparound care, alongside one of the most meaningful additions - a newly established SEND hub, created in partnership with Haughton Special School.
And the improvements aren’t stopping there. After Easter, children will be welcomed back with brand new outdoor play equipment - designed to spark imagination, movement and joy.
