Heelands School
About Heelands School
Heelands School, a small state primary for children aged 4 to 7 in Milton Keynes, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The most recent graded inspection took place in 2014, and an ungraded visit in June 2024 confirmed the school 'remains Good'. In that 2014 graded inspection, Ofsted judged the school's overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision all as Good. The school's headteacher is Ian Fraser-Kirkup. With just 74 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90, it is a notably small infant school, and this intimate scale likely shapes much of its character. The school's most informative exam metric is the local authority's average Key Stage 2 score of 62, though as an infant school Heelands does not sit these tests itself, meaning its academic story is told primarily through its consistent Ofsted record rather than published attainment data.
