About Millbridge, A Share Primary Academy

Millbridge, A Share Primary Academy is a state primary in Kirklees with a noticeably high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals: 48.5% of its 288 students, compared with a national primary average that typically sits around 23-24%. The school has capacity for 329 children, so it is running at roughly 88% full, which suggests there is room to grow. Demand, however, is strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 71 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.45. Of those 71 applicants, 26 put Millbridge as their first preference, and all 26 were offered a place. That means every first-preference family secured a spot, but the overall application number shows the school is a popular choice locally. Headteacher Rhona Pleasant leads a mixed, non-religious primary that also offers nursery provision for three-year-olds, so it covers the full primary age range from early years through to Year 6.
