iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Milford Primary School is a small, friendly school in the heart of Milford. We pride ourselves on the family ethos that runs throughout the school. We had our most recent OFSTED inspection in December 2024 when we maintained a 'Good' grade.
The report of that inspection can be found at We keep the size of our reception class small to ensure that the children have the best possible start to their education. Our school plays a key role in the community - we have established close links with the elderly residents at Milford House and the local church.
We seek to recognise pupils as individuals and encourage them to develop their own talents and interests. We believe that everyone should be treated equally and we are committed to promoting tolerance and respect. This website aims to give you a taster of the school, as well as providing up to date information for parents, pupils and the wider community.
We hope that you enjoy your visit to our website, and that you find the information you are looking for. Please feel free to contact the school direct with any queries you may have.
