About Ashbrook School

Ashbrook School is a small, state-funded primary school in Milton Keynes that caters specifically to children aged 4 to 7, making it an infant school within the local authority. It sits among 89 primary-phase schools in the area, where only 13 currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. Ashbrook itself was rated Good in its most recent inspection in 2024, a step down from the Outstanding grade it received in its previous inspection back in 2009. The school is notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 156 applications for just 47 places, with 39 first-preference offers made. That works out at roughly 3.3 applications per place, which gives a sense of its local popularity. Among its closest-performing peers in the LA, the top-ranked schools include Caroline Haslett Primary School, Middleton Primary School, and Haversham Village School. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Two Mile Ash School, just 0.2 km away, so families in this corner of Milton Keynes have strong local options to compare.
