Administrative HistoryMiddleton Community Primary School was established following the sale of land to the Parish of Wirksworth for a school in February 1846 (see D2372/A/PI/21/1-2). An Evening Continuation School was opened in October 1893, around the same time as the school was extended (see D2372/A/PI/21/3). Prior to February 1911, children under 5 had been admitted but accommodation pressures led to a revised admission policy. It became a council school in 1939 and was known as Wirksworth (Middleton) Council School. In April 1941 pupils aged over 11 transferred to New Bridge Senior School in Wirksworth and Middleton by Wirksworth became a primary school.
