MILLENNIUM PRIMARY SCHOOL, GREENWICH, LONDON
Built in 2001, the Millennium Primary School and Health Centre, set within the pioneering Millennium Village, is a community facility providing education and healthcare on one site. The primary school is for 420 5-11 year olds. There is also an early years centre (EYC) for one to four year olds and a creche for the use of parents attending the health centre or activities in the school. The EYC offers an extended day to under-fives for 48 weeks of the year, and the main school houses holiday play schemes. To further extend the school day the school's food technology space has a sitting and eating area for breakfast, afternoon snacks and socialising, before and after school. The school and EYC are fully inclusive of children with SEN. Physiotherapy and other services are available in the health centre, and specialists come to the school to work with pupils.
The health centre alongside the school provides a full range of primary care as well as promoting healthy living and preventative approaches to medicine. Its reception area includes a one-stop shop for information and advice. The centre supplies some specialist services to pupils with SEN, and in turn shares use of the creche, and SEN and community spaces in the school for meetings, exercise classes or courses.
