About Sherington Church of England School

Sherington Church of England School, a small Church of England primary in Milton Keynes for children aged 4 to 7, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most recent inspection, an ungraded visit in November 2024, confirmed that standards are being maintained, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all rated Good. The school is tiny, with just 22 pupils against a capacity of 30, and it is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 20 applications for just 3 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 6.67. All three first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers make clear that securing a spot is highly competitive. The school’s headteacher is Emma Wallace, and its religious character as a Church of England school is reflected in its on-site chapel.
