Types of School

Primary schools in Middlesbrough admit children between the ages of 4 and 11.
They normally enter school via one of the nursery classes attached to schools.
All our schools are 4-11 primary schools. All secondary schools maintained by
Middlesbrough LEA are 11-16 comprehensive schools. Macmillan Academy (11 -
18), The King’s Academy (11-18) and Unity City Academy (11 - 16) are also
located in Middlesbrough. Later in this guide, a list of schools in the LEA can be
found. Each school publishes a prospectus describing the school. These are
available from the school or may be consulted at the local library.
