St Mary Magdalene Academy is a Church of England all-through Academy which opened in September 2007 in an award winning building designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Architects.
The Academy specialism is Global Citizenship and the creation of well-rounded young people, able to take their place in the local, national and international community is at the heart of all we do. The focus on happy, successful children influences the way that we approach education.
The Academy is made up of both Primary and Secondary age children. In September 2013 we opened a special Free School for high functioning Autistic children know as The Courtyard. The Secondary is highly oversubscribed with over 1000 applications for the Year 7 intake in each of the last four years. September 2013 saw the first year of pupils admitted to Year 7 under an extra criteria of Aptitude, for which they sit an exam.
The all-through Academy provides the opportunity for Primary pupils to gain from the specialist facilities and subject knowledge of Secondary teachers. It allows for a smooth transition from Primary to Secondary with first-hand knowledge of curriculum delivery across all the Key Stages.
The Lower School curriculum (Years 7-9) aims to provide a rich, broad and balanced curriculum and includes the Independent Schools Examination Board examination at the end of Year 8 followed by a foundation year programme in Year 9. The Upper School curriculum (Years 10 and 11) continues the broad and balanced approach with pupils studying 9 GCSEs. English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Science, RS and either a Language, Geography or History provide the core, although many will continue with both Humanities and a Language. Pupils are then given free choices from a large number of options.
The Secondary School includes an academically selective Sixth Form which opened in September 2009 and offers students a wide range of A Levels. The Sixth Form is recognised nationally as an outstanding provision and consistently features in the top 10 comprehensives at sixth from and at the top of the local Islington ‘league table’.
The Academy’s Sponsors are the London Diocesan Board for Schools who have contributed to the £43 million cost of the Academy. They have succeeded in their vision to create an inspirational community of learning and achievement that will make a positive contribution to community cohesion in Islington.
The Governors are committed to providing an outstanding educational experience and their aim is that the Academy is a Christian community of learning which nurtures fulfilled young people who are high achievers discovering their vocation in a global society.
