Admissions
If you would like your child to attend our school, please see full details of our admission arrangements below.
Places are allocated in line with Milton Keynes Council admissions criteria, taking into account the class size limits of 30 pupils per class for pupils age 5, 6 or 7 at Key Stage 1.
The criteria applies to admissions of children who are:
(a) starting school for the first time
(b) transferring at 6+
(c) requesting admission during the year e.g. newly moved into the area
Milton Keynes Council will do everything possible to allocate a place at your preferred school. There is, however, no guarantee of a place at the school serving the area where you live.
Children moving into other Year Groups Parents of children who move into the area may apply for a place at the school by contacting Milton Keynes Council (Admissions 01908 253338). There may be vacancies in other Year Groups. If not, Milton Keynes Council will assist parents to find an alternative school in the area. If a place is offered to your child we provide a full induction programme to ensure your child settles in to St Mary’s Wavendon as soon as possible.
