About Millbrook School

For parents weighing up Millbrook School, the numbers tell a mixed story. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed, with 44 applications for 14 places — a ratio of 3.14 applicants per spot. However, only nine of those applications were first-preference choices, meaning the majority of families who applied did not rank it as their top pick. The school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, so there is no direct satisfaction score to draw on. With 168 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is operating below its maximum, which may give some families pause. The headteacher is Craig Hamilton, and the school serves a mixed cohort: 28% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, above the national average, reflecting a community with above-average economic disadvantage.
