Kents Hill Park all-through 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, 56 families put Kents Hill Park all-through school as their first choice and 450 named it as one of their preferences, for 118 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 119 in 2021 to 56 in 2026, while places went from 150 to 118.
Across Milton Keynes, 82% of families were offered their first-choice secondary school for 2026 entry, and 97% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Milton Keynes lodged 262 appeals against secondary school offers; 224 reached a hearing and 38 succeeded (17% of those heard).
