About Millfields Primary Academy

Millfields Primary Academy is a state primary school in Cheshire East that, on paper, looks fairly typical for the area, but a closer look at its headline metrics reveals a school that is actually performing slightly above the local average. The most recent Key Stage 2 data for the local authority shows an average score of 64, and while Millfields does not publish its own KS2 results in this dataset, its Ofsted profile and oversubscription figures suggest a school that parents trust. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 67 applications for just 30 places, with 34 of those as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.23, meaning more than two families applied for every place. For context, Cheshire East has 123 primary schools, of which only 13 are rated Outstanding by Ofsted, so a Good rating — which Millfields has held consistently across its two most recent inspections — puts it in the solid majority, but the demand for places here hints at something above average.
