Admissions to Primary School

Each year, 30 children are welcomed into the Reception class at St Mary Magdalene Academy. An exciting and innovative curriculum, highly qualified staff and beautiful modern facilities offer the children the best possible start to their primary education.

St Mary Magdalene Academy is a church school that serves the whole community and welcomes applicants of all faiths and none.

There are organised tours in the Autumn Term and the Head of Primary is also happy to show prospective parents around by arrangement. Please contact the Primary reception on 020 7502 4722.
