About Alameda Middle School

Alameda Middle School is a state-funded, mixed secondary school for pupils aged 9 to 13, located in Central Bedfordshire. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage from the Parent View survey, its oversubscription ratio offers a clear signal of local demand: the school is at full capacity, with 720 pupils on roll matching its 720-place capacity. This suggests that every available place is taken, and families are actively choosing the school. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2023, confirmed that it “remains Good,” a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in February 2018, when it was upgraded from Requires Improvement. The leadership and management, as well as overall effectiveness, were both judged Good at that graded inspection. For parents, this trajectory from Requires Improvement to a stable Good rating, combined with full enrolment, indicates a school that has turned a corner and is now a popular local choice.
