The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

About Oakgrove School

Oakgrove School is an all-through school in Milton Keynes, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 2,505 pupils aged 3 to 19 attend the school. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 85% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — well above the national average of 61%. That marks an improvement of 10.0 percentage points in the proportion reaching the expected standard on the previous year. At GCSE, the school's average Attainment 8 score was 54.7, above the national average of 46. On our composite score, Oakgrove School ranks in the top 25% of primary schools nationally for its primary (KS2) results. For its secondary (KS4) results, it ranks among the top 15% of secondary schools in England.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 108 in reading and 108 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). At Key Stage 4, 67% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well above the national average of about 45%. Oakgrove School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 71 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 0.70 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. Overall pupil absence was 6.5%. There are about 17.8 pupils per teacher. Oakgrove School 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.
