About Middle Street Primary School

Middle Street Primary School in Brighton and Hove sends a strong signal to parents that it is a popular choice: for the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed by a ratio of 2.74, with 63 applications chasing just 23 places. Of those, 17 families put it as their first preference, and all 17 were offered a spot. That kind of demand suggests a school that local parents trust and want to get into. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in June 2024, rated it Good overall, with a standout Outstanding grade for personal development. That’s a meaningful detail for families who care about how their child will grow as a person, not just academically. The headteacher, Rob Cooper, leads a relatively small school of 192 pupils, well within its capacity of 210, so class sizes are likely to feel manageable and personal.
