If a family is refused a place
In 2026, families in Milton Keynes lodged 245 appeals about a school place.
209 of them were heard by a panel and 37 succeeded, which is about 18 in every 100 heard.
The other 36 did not reach a panel. Most appeals that do not are withdrawn because a place comes up first.
This is a record of decisions already made. A panel hears one case at a time and decides it on what that family sets out, so these figures do not indicate what would happen in any particular appeal.
Source: Department for Education, admission appeals in England, reporting year 2026. Counts every school in this council area. The share that succeeded is taken over appeals heard by a panel, not over appeals lodged.
Schools here running specialist SEN provision
5 of this council's published schools run a SEN unit or a resourced provision: teaching for children with special educational needs, on the same site as the rest of the school.
| School | Phase | What it runs |
|---|---|---|
| Germander Park School
Milton Keynes |
primary | SEN unit |
| Lift Charles Warren
Milton Keynes |
primary | Resourced provision |
| New Bradwell Primary School
Milton Keynes |
primary | SEN unit |
| Priory Common School
Milton Keynes |
primary | SEN unit |
| St Paul's Catholic School
Milton Keynes |
secondary | SEN unit and resourced provision |
This says a provision exists and nothing more. Neither how many children it takes nor which kinds of need it is set up for is published for a mainstream school, and it is not a statement about how well any school supports children with SEN. Ask the school or the council. Source: Department for Education, special educational needs in England.
