Admissions to Milton Road and School Tours
Admissions
Milton Road Primary School is an inclusive community primary school with pupils aged between four and eleven years old. We welcome children from within the catchment area and beyond subject to the availability of spaces.
We are a two form-entry primary school which means that we have two classes in each year group with 30 children in each class, 60 in each year group and a total number of 420 pupils.
As a local authority community school, admissions to Milton Road Primary are handled directly by Cambridgeshire County Council. Any queries from parents should be addressed to the local authority:

We know that selecting a school is one or the most important decisions a parent/carer can make. For that reason, we offer a number of tours for Reception class (EYFS) September starts throughout November and December of the proceeding year.
School Tours for September 2026 start in our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
We are delighted to welcome prospective families who would like their child to join Milton Road Primary School starting in September 2026 for a school tour on the following dates:
Monday 6th, Wednesday 15th & Friday 24th October 2025
Monday 10th, Wednesday 19th & Friday 28th November 2025
Our School Tours take you on a guided tour around our facilities, which include meeting our Headteacher, and learning about our curriculum and innovative programs. On our school tours you get a first hand look at our classrooms, library, courtyard, playgrounds, forest school area and more.

In-Year Applications
For many positive reasons, traditionally schools in Cambridge have a great deal of movement, which means that from time to time, places become available at different year groups at different points in the school year.
We welcome children and families joining us at any point between Reception and Year 6, assuming that a place is available.
We make a point of letting parents/carers know if spaces are available for children and we do this through our newsletter The Weekly Navigator which comes out on a Thursday. Please go to the Events and Newsletter tab to find the latest location to see if there is any current availability and in which year group. If you would then like a bespoke tour of the school, please speak to the Office Manager who will be able to arrange this for you. Please call 01223 712333
Transferring to Secondary School
The partner secondary school for Milton Road Primary is Chesterton Community College.
Early in the autumn term, parents of pupils in Year 6 receive detailed information about all secondary schools together with a preference form. About this time, secondary schools arrange open evenings. Parents are notified of their child’s secondary place towards the end of the spring term.
