In-year Admissions Arrangements for Entry to Glebe Farm School
For in-year applications, where a year group is full, we operate a waiting list held by Milton Keynes City Council/School Admissions which lasts until the end of the academic year for which the application is made. The waiting list will be ranked in accordance with the over-subscription criteria and length of time on the list will not be a factor in offering a place. This means that children will move up and down the list as other children are added or removed. Being on the waiting list does not guarantee a place at the school. If you wish to keep your child on the waiting list for any subsequent academic year, please respond to Milton Keynes City Council who will issue notification of waiting list transition to the new academic year.
Admissions Appeals
If you named Glebe Farm School as one of your preferences and were unsuccessful you may wish to appeal against this decision to an Independent Appeal Panel. Â
Please refer to the Admissions Appeals Guide for Glebe Farm School below for guidance on this process. Admission-Appeals-Guide-Glebe Farm_2025
An appeal form can be requested by emailing us and attaching your school decline letter / Citizen Portal decline via Milton Keynes City Council. Once received we will forward you an appeals form for completion. On completion these should be returned via email  with any supporting evidence within the appropriate timescales.
In-year appeals can be made at any time after you have received a decline letter stating no availability of spaces. In-year appeals will be heard within 30 school days from the date the appeal application was received by the school.Â
If unsuccessful at independent appeal, there is no right to a second appeal on subsequent applications within the same academic year.
