I can definitely recommend this school. My 3 children attend this school and all are extremely happy at mkps...the staff , teachers and overall atmosphere is amazing ..everyone is so friendly , helpful and I feel reassured leaving my kids in their capable hands ...They have excellent academic results and also other activities and sports to offer... Thanks to all the staff& Mrs Pauley ...it's definitely worth recommending as one of the top schools in Milton Keynes if you're looking for the best for your child ...

Terrible , terrible, terrible, school. The staff do not have any courtesy and no inkling of what customer service is about. The Headmaster is particularly arrogant and obnoxious. The way and manner he handled an incident was very shameful. I have heard horrible stories about the staff and the way they treat and talk to parents but thought the stories were quite far fetched! It was exactly like people said if not worse! Not a school i would recommend to anyone at this point. No star at all, unfortunately cannot post until i click on one!

They do not even deserve a star but I had to do so, otherwise, would not be able to do the review. This is not a school, I feel it is only business run by horrible gang. My daughter had a very bad incident at the school resulted in breaking her leg. This was caused by a breach of duty and through negligence by staff and management that allowed another child to jump on her from the train structure at a meter height, which was not supervised. No one knows what had happened or tell me exactly what had happened and when decided what happened the story kept changing all the time. No one was allowed to talk to us apart from Mr. Carl Bates, the headmaster, because there is no transparency at this school. He is so defensive, arrogant and aggressive trying to deviate from the subject to belittle of the incident and our suffering. This complaint went into stage 2 and when the Chair of Governance intervened, he was more aggressive and intimidating than the headmaster that he threatened me to go to stage 3 complaint telling me that I will face humiliation. I know now why it is said in their website last year they had only 2 complaints and sorted out at stage 2. The staffs have no sense of ownership. I removed my daughter from this school because this school do not have pastoral care even though they keep talking about it in their website. I want my daughter to achieve excellent results academically in a safe environment and not to compromise her health and safety.

I would have given zero star but the least available star is one star. This was my encounter with a key staff in this school. On arrival to the school for the feedback on the assessment of my son into the school. I arrived 15mins early so went to the ladies , as soon as I came out of the ladies, a lady pointed at me and a room and said" GO AND WAIT FOR ME IN THE STUDY". she did not even say 'please' or even introduce herself or ask for my name as a potential parent. She joined me in the room and carried on with no introduction of whom she was. The rest of the conversation was even worse, she spoke to me as if she was my teacher and I was her student. She was utterly rude throughout the conversation and showed no regard at all. She obviously did not read the application form because she did mention not giving me any fee reduction which I did not even ask for in the first place. I only found out her name and title the next day when I rang the school and complained. Behold, the lady is the headmistress of the school. I must say the registrar apologised on her behalf .
