About Christ the Sower Ecumenical Primary School

Christ the Sower Ecumenical Primary School is a state primary in Milton Keynes that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 35 applications for just 17 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.06. Of those 35 applications, 15 were first-preference choices, and 15 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family who put it as their top choice secured a place. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though it’s worth noting the school is oversubscribed rather than selective. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2023, rated it Good overall, with Good marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a significant turnaround from its previous inspection in 2018, when it was rated Inadequate overall.
