About Oxley Park Academy

Oxley Park Academy is a large state primary in Milton Keynes, currently home to 696 pupils against a capacity of 840, meaning there is still some physical room to grow. Its intake reflects a community with above-average economic disadvantage: 17.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23% and a local Milton Keynes average that sits slightly lower. The school is clearly popular with local families. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 163 applications for 75 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.17 applicants per place. Of those, 74 were first-preference applications, and exactly 74 first-preference offers were made, suggesting that almost every family who put it first got a spot. The school is non-denominational, co-educational, and caters for children from age 3, with nursery provision on site. Noel Springett-McHugh is the headteacher.
