About Moorland Primary School

Moorland Primary School in Milton Keynes is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, and the numbers tell a clear story about its popularity. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 35 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.19. All 16 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, which suggests that for families who put it top of their list, it works out. However, the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, so there is no direct satisfaction score to point to. What is clear is that demand outstrips supply, and the school is a genuine choice for local families despite its current Ofsted rating.
