About Priory Common School

Priory Common School is a small state primary in Milton Keynes, catering for children aged 4 to 7, and it sits within a local authority that includes 89 primary schools. Among its peers, the top-ranked schools in the area are Caroline Haslett Primary School, Middleton Primary School, and Haversham Village School. Priory Common itself holds a Good rating from Ofsted, following a graded inspection in December 2019 and an ungraded visit in January 2025 that confirmed standards are being maintained. The school is led by headteacher Sashi Siva and has a capacity of 90 pupils, though current numbers stand at 58, meaning there is room to grow. It is a non-denominational school with no religious character, and it does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form. The school is heavily oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 46 applications for just 16 places and 14 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.88.
