About Middleton Technology School

Ofsted's Parent View survey, based on responses from 63 families between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 84% of parents would recommend Middleton Technology School. That's a strong vote of confidence, and it's backed up by the school being oversubscribed: for 259 places in the 2025/26 intake, there were 452 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.75. 228 families put it as their first preference, and all of those received offers. On individual questions, the picture is positive but not without nuance. 91% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 94% felt their child is safe. Behaviour is seen as a strength, with 86% agreeing the school ensures pupils are well behaved. However, when it comes to how concerns are handled, 14% disagreed they are dealt with properly, and 16% said they didn't know. For parents of children with SEND, 66% agreed the school provides the support needed, though 26% disagreed.
