About Milton Hall Primary School and Nursery

Milton Hall Primary School and Nursery is a larger-than-average state primary in Southend-on-Sea, currently teaching 704 pupils against a capacity of 659, meaning it is running significantly over its official number. The school serves a community with high levels of disadvantage: 44. 1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is strong, with 140 applications for 86 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 63. However, only 54 of those applications were first-preference choices, meaning the school received exactly as many first-preference applications as it had places to offer. This suggests that while the school is popular enough to fill its intake, it is not the top choice for most local families. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, with a nursery on site for children from age three.
