About Middleton Primary School

Middleton Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers tell a clear story. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 354 applications for just 90 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.93. Of those applications, 145 were first-preference choices, and all 90 places went to families who put the school at the top of their list. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Milton Keynes area. While the school doesn't publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, the sheer volume of applications — nearly four times the number of places — is a practical signal of how highly it is regarded. The school is led by headteacher Rachel Roberts and currently has 631 pupils on roll, just one over its official capacity of 630, which reinforces the sense of a school that is both full and in demand.
