About Giles Brook Primary School

Giles Brook Primary School in Milton Keynes is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11 that is clearly in demand among local families. With 420 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480, the school is not quite full, yet the admissions data tells a different story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 166 applications for just 58 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.86 applicants per place. Of those, 55 were first-preference applications, and exactly 55 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first secured a spot. The school’s free school meal rate stands at 8.6%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. This combination of strong demand and a below-average FSM percentage points to a school that is well-regarded in its immediate community, even if it isn’t the top-ranked option in the local authority.
