Welcome Message

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to the website of Milton St. John’s Church of England Primary School — a joyful, inclusive, and thriving learning community where every child is encouraged to let their light shine.

“Let your light shine before others…” – Matthew 5:16

Rooted in the words of Matthew 5:14–16, our vision is to help every child shine by growing in faith, learning with joy, and showing kindness to others. We believe that every child is a precious gift from God, uniquely created and full of potential. Our role is to nurture that potential and help each child use their gifts to make the world a brighter place.

Through our SHINE values, we support and guide children to grow not only academically, but also in character, faith, and compassion:

S – Show Respect: We treat everyone with kindness and fairness, listening carefully and valuing each person.

H – Be Honest: We tell the truth and try our best, even when things are difficult, trusting God to help us.

I – Include Others: We welcome everyone with open hearts, recognising that every person is special to God.

N – Never Give Up: We persevere through challenges, knowing that God is always with us.

E – Seek Excellence: We strive to use our gifts well, working hard and doing our best in everything we do.

At Milton St. John’s, we have high aspirations for every child. We aim to provide a rich and engaging education that prepares them not just for academic success, but for life — as confident, compassionate, and courageous individuals.

We are proud to work in partnership with parents, carers, the local authority, the Diocese, and other schools to ensure the very best for our children. Our door is always open — we welcome your questions, feedback, and ideas, and we are here to support you and your family every step of the way.

We look forward to welcoming you into the Milton St. John’s school community, where every child is encouraged to shine brightly.

With warm wishes,

Miss L Gallaher

Headteacher
