Starting secondary school is an exciting milestone, and we are delighted that you are considering joining The Magna Carta School community.

We know that moving from primary school to secondary school can bring a mixture of excitement, anticipation and sometimes a few nerves too. Our aim is to make every student feel welcomed, supported and confident as they prepare for this important next step.

At The Magna Carta School, we believe that Learning Shapes Lives. We are committed to helping every young person achieve academic success whilst also developing the character, confidence and resilience they need to flourish. We often talk about educating both the mind and the heart because we believe that both are equally important.

Our transition programme is carefully designed to help students get to know their new school, meet key staff, build friendships and feel ready for their first day in September. We work closely with our partner primary schools and families to ensure that every child receives the support they need to make a successful start.

On this page, you will find key information about transition, including a student-friendly guide on what to expect when they join. We hope the information on this page gives you a flavour of life at Magna and helps you feel excited about becoming part of our community.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to The Magna Carta School.
