WELCOME TO MILVERTON COMMUNITY
PRIMARY SCHOOL
Set
in extensive grounds on the edge of the attractive village of
Milverton, ours is a school with many features of which we are
proud.
We have a record of continuing
high academic achievement by our pupils. Our expectations of our pupils are high and we encourage
every child to recognise their potential and develop their individual
talents.
Our
facilities are outstanding. When the school was built in 1993
it gained a design award. It has been enhanced since then by
additional facilities, many provided through the fund raising
efforts of our parents and governors. Additions have
included a computer suite and playground
area for the Early Years classes, an area for our Special Needs
team and the very popular Adventure Playground. We are fortunate
to have extensive school grounds with a variety of natural habitats,
which encourages an environmental awareness in our pupils. As an eco school we are very proud to be the holders of our 3rd eco flag.
The curriculum continues
to expand. We retain our commitment to 'hands-on' learning and
the importance of the creative subjects and thinking skills
despite the pressure of the statutory curriculum. We regard
'out of hours learning' as part of our services to our children
and families. We run the Milverton School Sports Association
every night after school, alongside our Toasties
After School Club, which includes creative as well as leisure
activities.
Education
should be fun. Children, like the rest us, learn so much better
when they are enjoying what they are doing. Your child will
benefit enormously from the interest you take in his/her progress
at school. Staff are always willing to help and listen and I
can always be contacted at school. Here at Milverton School
we aim to co-operate and work together, staff, governors, parents
and children, to do the very best we can for everyone involved.
If you would like a tour
of the school please contact the school office on 01823 400439.

Headteacher
Our
aim is to help everyone associated with Milverton School to
feel part of a lively, caring and challenging community. We
believe that education is a partnership between parents, children
and staff and all parties benefit from close contact with
each other. Many opportunities are provided for meeting staff
throughout the school year and we hope we will all quickly
get to know each other well.
The school has an excellent
record and there is a long history of high expectations and
achievements underlying the ethos of the establishment today.
We aim to develop the individual talents and realise the potential
of every child in our care. To this end we try to organise
a wide variety of educational experiences both within and
outside school time. We have a most committed and professional
staff who devote many hours to planning and structuring the
children's learning experiences. We rely on our parents to
support us and we are most grateful for the wealth of talent
and experience that is made available to us. We also receive
much welcome support from members of the local community.
