About St Mary's Wavendon CofE Primary

St Mary's Wavendon CofE Primary is a Church of England state primary in Milton Keynes that is clearly in demand. With 490 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, the school is not yet full, but the oversubscription picture tells a different story. For the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 124 applications for 71 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.75. Of those, 52 were first-preference applications, and only 50 first-preference offers were made, meaning a significant number of families who wanted a place here did not get one. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.2%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools of around 23.8%, placing it slightly below that benchmark but still well above the Milton Keynes average. This suggests a genuinely mixed intake, drawing from a range of backgrounds, and the school’s Church of England character adds a layer of community identity that clearly appeals to local families.
