About The Milford Academy

The Milford Academy, a state primary in Nottingham, performs broadly in line with the local authority average on the headline Key Stage 2 measure, but with a slightly stronger result. In the 2023/24 academic year, 62% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the Nottingham LA average of 60%. That places the school 31st out of 72 primary schools in the city, putting it in the bottom half of the local league table. However, the gap is narrow, and the school’s ranking is very close to the median — it sits at the 43rd percentile nationally. Where the school really stands out is in its improvement journey. Its most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2012, rated it Good overall, with Good leadership and management. That was a significant step up from its previous inspection in 2008, when it was judged to Require Improvement. An ungraded inspection in 2021 confirmed the school remains Good, suggesting stability since that earlier turnaround.
