About Middleham Church of England Aided School

If you are looking at Middleham Church of England Aided School, the first thing you will notice is how sought after it is. For entry in 2025/26, the school received 11 applications for just 3 available places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 67. All three of those places went to first-preference families, which suggests that for those who live close enough, it is a clear first choice. The school is small, with just 51 pupils on roll against a capacity of 78, so classes are intimate and the headteacher, Zoe Hirst, will know every child by name. The school does not publish a Parent View recommendation percentage in the data, but the high demand speaks for itself.
