Admissions
If you are considering New Bradwell School for your child, please refer to the admissions criteria below, all admissions, including in-year applications, are made through the Council web site at Milton Keynes Council Admissions.
New Bradwell School has a published admission number of 630 (based on the admission of up to 90 children to Reception classes each year).
The school will accept all children with an EHC plan that names New Bradwell School within it. In the event there are more applications than places available, applications will be ranked as follows:
- Looked After Children and all Previously Looked After Children, including those who appear (to the admissions authority) to have been in state care outside England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
- Children living in the defined area: New Bradwell, Blue Bridge, Oak Ridge Park, Stantonbury Farm Park and the northern part of Bancroft and have a sibling on roll at the time of admission.
- Children living in the defined area: New Bradwell, Blue Bridge, Oak Ridge Park, Stantonbury Farm Park and the northern part of Bancroft.
- Children who live outside the area with brothers or sisters who will be in attendance at the time of admission.
- Children who attend the schools Nursery.
- Children who live outside the defined area.
(For a definition of siblings please see the Milton Keynes Council Information for Parents booklet.)
In the event of oversubscription under any of the criteria at 1 to 6 above, places will be allocated in distance order using the distance between the child’s normal home address and the school’s main entrance, using the shortest appropriate route, measured using the Local Authority’s computerised measuring system with those living closest to the school receiving the higher priority.
In the case of multiple births:
➢ For admission to Key Stage 1, when class sizes are limited to 30, only one child may be admitted. Parents will be advised that they can decide which child can be offered the place or they may seek an alternative school able to admit both (or all) of the children;
➢ For admission to classes other than Key Stage 1, both twins would be admitted (or all siblings in the case of multiple births) even if this goes above the admission number for the school.
There is no automatic right of entry to the school for pupils attending the nursery at New Bradwell School.
Our special needs department, which we run on behalf of Milton Keynes City Council, is located at a different site in Fishermead. Applications for department places are not included within the admission process described in this policy and are separate to the school’s admission criteria.
