Admissions Criteria

Defined Area (Catchment): Kingston, Monkston and Monkston Park. In Year Applications refer to applications made at other times after the initial September entry.

Monkston Primary School maintains a waiting list ranked in accordance with the over-subscription criteria, and being on the waiting list does not guarantee a place. If seeking a place for Years 1 or 2 there are currently places; in-year applications can be made; queries can be emailed to the admissions email provided on the site. National and local guidance include the Milton Keynes City Council admissions process and national offer days.
