We use the same forms of communication for all our announcements so it is good to ensure you know about these, as they give you the latest information about the events and happenings at MPS.

Why do we have an Enrolment Zone? School enrolment zones stop schools becoming overcrowded, and guarantee children living within any given school zone can attend their local school. Enrolment zones are determined by negotiation between the Boards of surrounding schools. See map above to view our enrolment zone.
