Mill Lane Primary School is a family. Our values are family values where everyone is welcomed, respected, cared for and nutured - we want the very best for every single child in our care (and all the adults too). We offer a warm and friendly environment where all members of the community are given as many opportunities to suceed as possible.
We believe that health, in all its forms, is central to every individual throughout their life and so aim to create lifelong habits of good mental and physical health from a very young age. Learning through hard work, friendship and fun is our schools ethos and is how we develop individuals, support each other and enjoy our journey through life.
