From the Milford Primary School
In the centre of Milford, there is a modest, welcoming school called Milford Primary School. We take great satisfaction in the familial atmosphere that permeates the entire school. In June 2016, during our most recent OFSTED inspection, we were given a "Good" rating. The inspection report is available at http://reports.ofsted.gov.uk. To provide the kids the greatest possible start in their education, we keep the size of our reception class modest. Our school has strong ties to the local church and Milford House's senior citizens, and we play a significant role in the community. We work to recognise each student as an individual and to support the growth of their unique skills and passions. We are dedicated to encouraging tolerance and respect because we really think that everyone deserves to be treated equally. This website seeks to provide current information for parents, students, and the larger community while also giving you a sense of the school. We sincerely hope you enjoy browsing our website and discover the details you're looking for. Any questions you may have can be directed to the school directly.
