About Milefield Primary School

Milefield Primary School in Barnsley received a Good overall rating from Ofsted in its March 2024 inspection, a clear improvement from the Requires Improvement grade it had been given in 2019. The most telling exam metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results: 72% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits comfortably above the Barnsley local authority average of 63%, placing Milefield 24th out of 70 primary schools in the area and in the top 50 nationally for this measure. The school’s progress in personal development was singled out as Outstanding, while leadership and management, behaviour and attitudes, and the quality of education all earned Good grades.
