About Mickley First School

Mickley First School, a small state primary in Northumberland, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, with every assessed category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management — all rated Good. This marks a consistent performance; the school also received a Good overall effectiveness grade in its previous inspection in 2013. With just 64 pupils on roll against a capacity of 75, Mickley is a notably small school, and its size is reflected in the available exam data. While the school does not publish individual Key Stage 2 results, the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 56, and Mickley’s academic standing can be gauged by its position among peers: it ranks just behind top-performing local primaries such as Eastlea Primary School and Belsay Primary School, which score 82 and 81 respectively on the local ranking metric.
