Glebe Farm School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Glebe Farm School?
Glebe Farm School is a special school in Milton Keynes, and it does not use a standard catchment area. Milton Keynes allocates places through each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) rather than home-to-school distance, so placement depends on assessed need rather than a geographic boundary.
Admission to Glebe Farm School follows a different process from mainstream schools. Milton Keynes assesses each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) to determine appropriate placement. Catchment area does not apply in the same way as mainstream admissions.
For more information on how Milton Keynes assesses EHCP placements and which schools are named, contact the council's SEND team directly. The council must publish its Local Offer explaining available provision.
