Introduction
Welcome to our prospectus. In here you will see that Millom School is a great place to come and learn, work and
play. The emphasis at school is to make sure that students feel safe, happy and secure and able to make good
academic progress in a positive climate.
Millom School is an inclusive school, which exists to promote not only high achievement, but plays an important
part in the wider community. We work closely with the Network Centre, which is co-located on the school site.
We have some wonderful facilities and are concerned to help everyone, students and adults alike, realize their
potential. The quality of learning and teaching is of a high standard, as shown by dramatically improving results
over time, both at GCSE and A level. In 2010 Millom School achieved the highest added value score for the whole
of Cumbria.

website and perhaps most importantly of all, pay us a visit!

• Improve the performance of every subject department
• Train and develop our staff to be the best they can be
• Develop the school site, buildings and classroom equipment (within budgetary constraints)
• Maintain and develop a positive, outward facing and inclusive school
• Ensure school leavers know right from wrong, have respect for themselves & others and are
well skilled (particularly in literacy, numeracy, and ICT) and employable
• Use the technology specialism to augment and enhance provision.
