Communication
We will use Class Dojo, School Website and Twitter to send out general communications. We cannot respond to individual comments on any of these sites. This is due to a mixture of privacy and practicality. We will be manning the school phone at the following times:
Monday 23rd March 9:30am – 11:30am
2:30pm – 3:30pm
Tuesday 24th March 9:30am – 11:30am
In addition, you can email school at millbrook@knowsley.gov.uk
Please understand that it will be impossible to send an immediate response but we will prioritise queries accordingly.
The vast majority of our staff are currently unavailable to attend school due to self isolation as per the government guidelines. Where possible, they are working in the background preparing remote learning opportunities for our pupils. Thank you to the parents who took the time this week to share kind words with our staff and show their appreciation. Through kindness, we can all help to keep staff morale up and help us to keep serving our fabulous school community at this difficult time.
School Crossing
The school crossing patrol service has been suspended until further notice for your site. The government guidelines for Covid-19 states that over 70’s should be self isolating. Please take extra care on the crossing this evening and again tomorrow.
FOOD BANKS
The Local Food Banks are keen to make parents aware that families will still be able to access food without the paper vouchers. Please find a link to the local food banks and opening times below. Please communicate this out to your parents.

Ready Steady Read Book Fair
Our Ready Steady Read Book Fair is up and running. Thank you to all parents who attended our Ready, Steady, Read Book Fair yesterday, we raised £164.80, which is great. We only have £435.20 to raise before we reach our target of £600. You are still able to order books through the school, if you were unable to attend yesterday. Thanks for your continued support!
Resilience
We are focusing on RESILIENCE in school. We are aiming to improve our resilience by not giving up, working hard, pushing ourselves and not giving up. Class 4 are making a video about resilience. Today in assembly, we focused on JK Rowling and celebrated how she overcame challenges when first writing Harry Potter.
