About Glebe Farm School

Glebe Farm School stands out sharply against the Milton Keynes local authority average for secondary schools. The LA average Progress 8 score sits at -0.21, which means the typical school in the area sees pupils achieve slightly below the national average. Glebe Farm, by contrast, earned an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2025, placing it among just three schools in the local authority to hold that top grade out of 16 total secondary schools. That is a significant marker of quality in a mixed state secondary that serves pupils from age 2 all the way through to 16. The school is also heavily oversubscribed, with 472 applications for 140 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 128 of those offers went to first-preference applicants out of 149 who put it top of their list. That level of demand suggests local parents see something exceptional here, and the data backs them up.
