About Middlezoy Primary School

Middlezoy Primary School is a small state primary in Somerset, serving just eight pupils against a capacity of 85. In the local authority’s rankings for Key Stage 2 outcomes, it sits at 98th out of 134 primary schools, placing it in the bottom half of Somerset’s state primaries. The top-performing peers in the area include Combe St Nicholas Church of England VA Primary School, Kingfisher Primary School, and Preston CofE Primary School, all of which score significantly higher on the same ranking metric. The school is mixed, non-religious, and caters for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Headteacher Lindsay Hayward leads a team that has overseen a notable improvement in the school’s Ofsted rating: in January 2022, the school was judged to require improvement overall, but by its most recent graded inspection in January 2024, it had been upgraded to Good across all categories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
