Where next after Millfield?
Since opening in 1989, many Millfield parents said they wished we would open a primary school, as they didn't want  their child to have to leave our environment when they reached the age of four. In September 2007, we established  Colston Bassett School, a co-educational primary school for children aged 4–11 years, offering full-time  education from Reception to the end of Year 6.

Our school is a small, independent primary school located in the beautiful nearby village of Colston Bassett on the Nottinghamshire/Leicestershire border, only a 5-minute drive from Millfield. The school is situated in a picturesque, rural location on the edge of the village and we take full advantage of our unspoiled surroundings, offering our pupils a unique and distinctive approach to education where traditional family values underpin everything we do.
As a small school, we are able to provide individual attention to our children within small classes. We strongly believe this is invaluable to their educational and personal development.

 Children are encouraged to work to the best of their abilities without being constrained by a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Each child’s particular needs are met and all aspects of development (creative, emotional, moral, spiritual, intellectual and physical) are encouraged.

We offer a wealth of teaching experience that enriches the pupils’ school day. We hold traditional values dear, and are unashamedly proud of our finest ambassadors—our children. We highly value the relationship we have with parents and families.

“The school's work to promote pupils’ personal development and welfare is outstanding. The school provides a very relaxed and supportive environment in which pupils learn to value their education and contribute very successfully to a shared community.” (Ofsted March 2017)
