Millstead is a primary special school with a community of fantastic children who have a wide range of interests, abilities and additional needs (including severe learning difficulties, profound and multiple learning difficulties, sensory impairments and autism).

At Millstead School, we aim to provide a world-class education for all pupils which transforms their lives and the lives of their families. We have 314 pupils on roll aged 2 – 11 years, based in the Everton and Naylorsfield areas of the city. All pupils have an education, health and care plan (EHCP) which recognises their severe and complex needs. The teacher vacancies are on both sites.
Our “extraordinary and ambitious” curriculum follows 3 distinct learning pathways:
 Cohort 1: Pre-Formal learners with complex autism or profound & multiple learning difficulties. These pupils are below Pre-Key Stage Standards and are working within the Engagement Model;
 Cohort 2: Pre-Formal learners who are in the Early Years. These pupils are also below Pre-Key Stage Standards and are working within the Engagement Model. For many of these children, joining the Millstead family will be their first experience of an educational setting;
 Cohort 3: Semi-Formal learners in Key Stage 1 and 2. These pupils are working within Pre-Key Stage Standard in English and Maths.
