The Milton Keynes Academy
About The Milton Keynes Academy
The Milton Keynes Academy sits within a local authority where three of sixteen secondary schools hold an Outstanding rating, and its nearest such school, St Paul's Catholic School, is just 0.3 kilometres away. Among its peers in the same local authority, the academy is outranked by St Paul's Catholic School, Oakgrove School, and The Hazeley Academy, which together form the top three in the area. This places the school in a competitive landscape where families often weigh options between these higher-ranked neighbours. Headteacher Gordon Farquhar leads a mixed, non-religious secondary for pupils aged 11 to 18, with a current roll of 1010 students. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection awarded it a Good rating, a solid foundation in a borough where the majority of secondaries share that grade. For parents exploring Milton Keynes, this school represents a reliably rated option within a diverse local market.
