Admissions

The school serves the area of Newport Pagnell bounded on the west by the M1 motorway; on the north by the Wolverton Road (even numbers) to a line drawn through Westbury playing field to include Park Avenue and Lakes Lane; on east by River Lovat and on south by a line drawn along Annesley Road, Broad Street and including Green Farm Road down to Marsh End Road and a line drawn across to the river, also the villages of Astwood, Hardmead, Lathbury and Chicheley.

If you have any queries as to whether or not you live in the reserved area, please do not hesitate to contact us. Parents are free to apply for their child to attend the school of their choice. All applications should be made to Milton Keynes Council, who prefer online applications where possible.

The standard admission number for entry to the school is 45. Places at Cedars are allocated according to the following criteria, in order of priority:

Summary of oversubscription criteria

Children who are looked after (LAC) and all previously looked after children (PLAC) including those who appear (to the admission authority) to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted (IAPLAC), (please see definitions below).
Siblings of children who are attending the school at the time allocations are made and are expected to be on roll at the school at the time of the proposed admission and the place of residence is within the catchment area of the School.
The child’s place of residence is within the catchment area of the school and there is no sibling.
Siblings of children who are attending the school at the time of allocations are made and are expected to be on roll at the school at the time of the proposed admission and the place of residence it outside of the catchment area of the school.
Children of staff at the school where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
“Distance” from the school to the place of residence.

In the event of there being more applicants meeting any of the criteria above places will be allocated in distance order using the distance between the child’s normal home address and the school’s main entrance, measured in a straight line, using the council’s computerised measuring system with those living closest to the school receiving the higher priority. In the unlikely event of joint oversubscription, having exhausted distance, random allocation will be used as the ultimate tie breaker.
