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.

The school is currently undergoing a public consultation regarding a proposed reduction in commissioned places, from 120 to 116 for the September 2025 intake, and further to 112 for September 2026. This change is due to the loss of use of temporary mobile buildings on site and will not affect existing students. The consultation invites feedback from parents and the community, reflecting Millgate's commitment to transparency and collaboration.

Millgate School prioritises communication with parents and carers, providing updates through letters and statutory information accessible on their website. The school aims to create a supportive environment that prepares students to navigate their futures successfully.
