About Loughton Manor First School

Loughton Manor First School is a state primary in Milton Keynes that is effectively full, with 231 pupils on roll against a capacity of 230. The school serves a community where 10.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools in the area. Demand is high: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 168 applications for 60 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.8 to one. Of those, 65 families put it as their first preference, and 53 first-preference offers were made, meaning roughly 82% of first-choice applicants secured a place. This level of competition signals strong local reputation, particularly for a first school catering only to ages 3 to 7. The school also has nursery provision, which may feed into the reception cohort.
