About Pepper Hill School

Pepper Hill School is a state primary in Milton Keynes, catering for children aged 3 to 7, and sits within a local authority that contains 89 primary schools. Among its peers in the area, it is not one of the top-ranked institutions — the highest-scoring local primaries are Caroline Haslett Primary School, Middleton Primary School, and Haversham Village School. The nearest school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Stanton School, just 0.6 kilometres away. Pepper Hill itself holds a Good rating, a grade it has maintained across its most recent inspections. The school is relatively small, with 146 pupils against a capacity of 240, and it is noticeably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 53 applications for 25 places, with 24 of those coming as first preferences. This level of demand suggests strong local reputation, particularly among families with very young children, given its early years focus.
