About Milford Primary School

Milford Primary School is a small state primary in Amber Valley, Derbyshire, currently teaching 78 pupils against a capacity of 105, so there is room to grow. Its intake reflects a relatively low level of disadvantage: 14.1% of pupils qualify for free school meals, which is below the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 34 applications for just 15 places, with all 15 first-preference offers taken up, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.27. That suggests a popular local choice, even though the school doesn't have a religious character. The headteacher is Emma Roberts, and the school is mixed-sex, taking children from age 4 to 11. It does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form.
