Admissions Criteria

The Local Authority (LA) coordinates admissions for maintained schools in Milton Keynes. Falconhurst has an agreed admission number of 45 pupils per year group. The catchment area is defined as Eaglestone and Peartree Bridge, but many pupils come from outside this catchment. In oversubscribed years, places are allocated by the LA according to criteria: looked after or previously looked after children; siblings on roll; residence within catchment with or without a sibling; distance from the school's location, with closer applicants given priority and random allocation used as a tiebreaker if distances are equal. In all cases, the council must admit a child with a statement of SEN or an Education Health Care Plan naming the school. Nursery exists within the building with specific admission practices, but a Nursery place does not guarantee a school place.
