Milverton Community Primary School and Pre-School continues to perform well, maintaining its status as a good school since its last inspection. Positive relationships underpin the school environment, fostering a sense of belonging and safety among pupils. They engage well in their learning, particularly in core subjects, and benefit from a range of extracurricular activities that enrich their education. However, while the curriculum in subjects like English, mathematics, and science is ambitious and well-structured, there are areas for improvement in the wider curriculum to ensure that the essential knowledge is effectively identified and assessed, allowing for better retention and building of knowledge across subjects.
