Midgley School
About Midgley School
Midgley School is a small state primary in Calderdale, a local authority where only 7 of 82 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. Midgley itself is rated Good, and its nearest Outstanding neighbour is Luddendenfoot Academy, 1.9 kilometres away. Among its local peers, the top-ranked schools in the area are St Mary's CofE (VC) J and I School, All Saints' CofE Primary School, and The Greetland Academy, all of which sit above Midgley in the local ranking. The school is led by headteacher Joanne Mansfield and serves just 56 pupils against a capacity of 105, giving it a notably small, intimate feel. It is a mixed, non-denominational school for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. The school does not have a religious character, and its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2022, confirmed that it remains Good.
