Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

Every child who put The Premier Academy first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

The Premier Academy at a glance

Located in Milton Keynes, The Premier Academy is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 617 pupils aged 4 to 11. 81% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well above the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 3.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 11% of primary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 109 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 16% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made The Premier Academy their first choice was offered one of its 65 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.1%. There are about 18.9 pupils per teacher. The Premier Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
