About Our School
Millhouse Primary School is a small school with a big heart, located on the edge of Barnsley, Sheffield and Huddersfield. With 100 pupils across four mixed-age classes, we are proud of our close-knit, family atmosphere where every child is known, valued and supported to thrive.
Our children are kind, enthusiastic and eager to learn.

We take an inclusive approach to nurture confident, independent and aspirational learners who come to school each day ready to embrace new opportunities.
As a school at the heart of our community, we value strong relationships with families and believe in working collaboratively to achieve the very best outcomes for every child.
