About Rickley Park Primary School

Rickley Park Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary in Milton Keynes that is currently running very close to its full capacity of 459 pupils, with 456 on roll. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 29% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average of around 23% for primary schools. Demand for places is strong, with the school oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake. It received 132 total applications for just 60 places, and 59 of those were first-preference applications, all of which were offered. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.2, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age three, which may be a practical draw for local families looking for a single-site early years and primary option.
