We would like to extend a warm welcome to all new and returning visitors to our school's website. Please have a look at the photographs of some of the fantastic work some of our pupils have produced. I think Byerley Park is a great place to be, as a child or an adult, and I am very proud of the education and experiences we provide for our pupils.

The Byerley Turk, the great stallion owned by the then Captain Robert Byerley, was arguably Middridge's most famous resident. The Byerley Turk was one of the founding stallions of today's thoroughbred horses and was stood at Middridge Grange, until being moved to North Yorkshire when his owner married.
