Milton Keynes has great schools. Around 44,500 children and young people attend our 113 schools.

Milton Keynes is a fun city to be young in. We have some amazing facilities for children and young people, from climbing and high ropes adventures to arts centres, and a thriving voluntary sector with clubs and groups for all interests.

The city is a regional attraction for shopping and dining, with close to 200 stores, restaurants, and cafes under one roof in the city centre, and a growing number of quirky independents.

There’s a vibrant cultural scene whether you’re a maker or gallery goer, seeking late night live music, or a show at one of the largest theatres outside London.
