Welcome to Millom School

Welcome to our school web site which will provide you with information about how we as a school community aim to work together to be happy and healthy, stay safe, enjoy our learning, and achieve well. Above all, however, we are concerned to help our students realise their potential, to understand the difference between right and wrong, to show respect for themselves and others, and to stay in learning until such time as they are ready to join the world of work. Of course, you can only learn so much by visiting the school web site, so why not pay us a visit!
