About Middlestown Primary Academy

Middlestown Primary Academy is a state primary school in Wakefield, serving children aged 2 to 11. It sits 15th out of 97 primary schools in the local authority, placing it comfortably in the top 25% of schools in the area. The top three schools in the same league table are Jerry Clay Academy, Horbury Bridge Church of England Junior and Infant Academy, and Larks Hill Junior and Infant School, all of which share a ranking score of 93. Middlestown’s own score of 80 reflects solid performance, though there is room to climb. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 46 applications for 30 places and 29 of those offers going to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation.
