Mrs J Milton
Headteacher

I am Josephine Milton and proud to be the Headteacher of Titchmarsh Primary School. My son, James joined the Owlets in 2000, I followed him when I joined the staff in September 2001. My daughter, Louisa arrived soon after. I became Head teacher in September 2004. I have seen many changes at the school as we have advanced in technology, expanded our environmental awareness and widened our community horizons. At the heart of it all however, we are still a small school with a caring, stimulating, family ethos. This is a great school. I think so, the parents think so, Ofsted thinks so and what is more important the children think so too!
