Schools in the MK42 postcode district
Bedford, Kempston
The newest figures for each school. "1st prefs per place" is how many families put the school first, for each place it gave out. It measures demand, not whether a child would get a place. A dash means the figure is not available.
Demand for places in MK42
Across the 17 schools here with figures, the middle one drew 0.96 first preferences for every place it offered. 5 of 17 were named first by more families than they had places.
Demand is not admission. A school can be named first by far more families than it has places and still admit every applicant living in its catchment. Nothing on this page says anything about property values, and no figure here should be read as evidence about them.
