Principals Welcome

I was born in Carlisle and spent my childhood there attending a large comprehensive school where I developed a passion for PE and History. In my early teens I then moved to Dartford College of Physical Education to undertake my teacher training qualification.

Having worked in the Education sector for over thirty years in various capacities at a Middle and Senior Level I have gained a wide breadth of experience and knowledge. I have undertaken various roles at Milton School including Head of Upper School, Year 11 Class Teacher and Vice Principal. Now as Head of School at Milton I am excited to have the opportunity to lead the school through the next phase of its continuing development. Our pupils are at the centre of all of our decision making and make Milton the fantastic school that it is.

I believe that strong relationships with parents and the wider community are vital in ensuring that our children are supported as they move through their school life. So, I am delighted to be working together with pupils, staff, parents, governors, the trust and everyone else involved with Milton School for all our children's success, achievement and welfare.

I look forward to seeing you in school and working together to support our young people as they prepare for adult life.

Carol Leighton
Head of School
