Founded in 1850, Middleton School used to provide education just for the children of Middleton from an early age until they left school. Now the school provides education from children from the ages of 5-9 years, and coming from not only Middleton, but also the villages of Westleton, Dunwich, Theberton and Eastbridge, there are also quite a number of children attending the school who come from Leiston.

At the present time the school role is 30 with children being taught in two classes. Able, gifted and talented pupils are challenged in regular master classes, and pupil special educational needs are well supported.

Apart fro the normal curriculum based teaching, the children also take part in annual events such as country dancing around the maypole of the Middleton Bell meadow, sports day on the village playing field, Harvest Festival and Carol Services held in the Church, and of course the Christmas productions which take place in the school hall.

There is a thriving parent teacher association, who organise many fund raising events which in turn pay for the many educational visits organised for the children.

In September 2005, Middleton School federated with Peasenhall Primary School, the federation has now been running for over 4 years, and has proved very successful, both schools being able to enjoy each other’s facilities.

Middleton School recently had an outstanding Ofsted inspection in February 2009, the full report can be found below.
