Holmer Green First School and Pre-School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 52 families put Holmer Green First School and Pre-School as their first choice and 104 named it as one of their preferences, for 54 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 70 in 2021 to 52 in 2026, while places went from 60 to 54.
Across Buckinghamshire, 92% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Buckinghamshire lodged 107 appeals against primary school offers; 75 reached a hearing and 6 succeeded (8% of those heard).
