Summary
Millgate School is a community special school located in Leicester, catering to a mixed-gender student body of 119 pupils, with a capacity of 118. The school is dedicated to placing the child at the centre of its educational approach, focusing on individual narratives to inform a tailored curriculum. This curriculum is designed to support each child's development, character, and learner behaviour, ensuring they engage with knowledge-rich content and have opportunities for practical experiences.
