Welcome to Millgate School,

We are a special school in every sense of the word and passionately believe in our ambition to transform lives and inspire futures.

Our aim is for everybody who comes into contact with our school to leave richer for the experience. We are a dedicated community of staff and pupils who in partnership with our federated school Keyham Lodge, have been on an upward trajectory over the last 5 years.

At Millgate School relationships are key; we take pride in getting to know our pupils and their families and in ensuring they receive the best possible level of care and support on their journey though our school.

Millgate School is an amazing place that is 'Transforming Lives and Inspiring Futures' everyday. As a staff and student body, we work tirelessly to ensure excellent learning experiences for all and our mission to secure exceptional outcomes, in a range of forms, is uncompromising.

Our School is a special schools for students whose main SEN type is Social Emotional and Mental Health. Previously part of a federation, the school joined Discovery Trust in September 2021 along with Keyham Lodge School. Discovery is a multi-academy trust of 13 primary schools and 2 special schools based across Leicester City, Leicestershire and Rutland. The school has its own Advisory Board to support good governance.

We have a residential facility known as The Bryant Residence a setting that offers short residential stay to all pupils with a capacity of 8 pupils per evening. This has been consistently rated as “Outstanding” by Ofsted.

The school culture is strength and is built on the school motto “Transforming lives and inspiring futures”. We believe that this is reflected in the principles on display throughout the school and the aspirational approach that is embedded over time.
