No. Distance only counts when The Willows School and Early Years Centre has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Milton Keynes, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
The Willows School and Early Years Centre had 188 pupils at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 225. It is a mixed school.
