School Information

Background and Catchment Area

Milford Haven School was formed in 1988 by the amalgamation of Milford Haven Grammar School and Milford Haven Central School.   The catchment area provides a good comprehensive intake from a wide area extending westwards from Milford Haven to Dale.  The majority of pupils live in Milford Haven and its vicinity.

School Roll

The school roll is currently 1124 pupils, including 196 pupils in the Sixth Form.  There are 69 teaching staff including the Headteacher and two Deputies.

Accommodation

The school occupies an attractive and extensive site in the pleasant residential area of Steynton on the outskirts of Milford Haven.  Four new blocks, well integrated with the original building, have produced premises which are certainly among the best in Wales.  The school is well-equipped with over 500 computers, satellite and internet links and  interactive whiteboards in all teaching rooms.  Sports facilities include a multi-purpose sports hall and a gymnasium, together with tennis courts and an all-weather pitch with flood-lighting.

Basic Skills Quality Standard

In February 2010 Milford Haven School became one of the first schools to be awarded with the new Basic Skills Quality Standard, which replaces the previously achieved Basic Skills Quality Mark. This involved meeting five standards. These are described as a range of skills that include:

• effective assessment
• improving Literacy and Numeracy standards
• staff training
• planning and monitoring progress
• evaluating how effective we are

The school is very pleased to have received this award as it reflects all the hard work and commitment of staff. We recognise that basic skills are essential for everyone to enjoy their lives and fulfil their potential.
