South Milford Moments
Weekly news Friday 4.10.19
Updated Vision
Staff and governors would like to share our updated vision for the school. We spent time together on the training day identifying our key aims and priorities.
At South Milford Primary School we have high expectations in everything we do: including academic progress, behaviour, presentation and personal development. We work hard to fulfil our ambitions.
We make sure all our children reach their highest academic potential by delivering an engaging curriculum that offers inspirational and exciting learning experiences along with opportunities to shine in a wide variety of areas.
Our school is at the heart of our village and the children are the next generation of this thriving community. In order to be the best they can be, and to equip them for life in the wider world, we enable our children to develop the right attitude to learning. We encourage them to develop their talents and take a sense of pride in all their achievements.
Our school is a safe, happy and nurturing place in which children show tolerance and respect for all. The children, staff, governors and parents create a supportive and united community. We believe working together helps us achieve our common goals, providing us with fantastic outcomes and enjoyable moments along the way.
That’s why our motto is ‘Shining Together’.
