About Holne Chase Primary School

Holne Chase Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 87 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.9. Of those, 32 families put it as their first preference, and 29 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests parents who get to know the school tend to rate it highly. The school is led by headteacher David Killick and sits in Milton Keynes, a local authority where 13 out of 89 primary schools are rated Outstanding by Ofsted. Holne Chase itself is rated Good, a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2019, when it was judged Inadequate overall. In that earlier inspection, both quality of education and personal development were rated Inadequate, and early years provision was Requires Improvement. The turnaround has been marked.
