St Mary Magdalene Academy Sixth Form opened in September 2009 with the launch of the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBD).

Read our Sixth Form news stories page.

Recognised in leading universities in this country and around the world, the IBD is renowned for both the breadth of its prospectus and for its academic rigour. It enables students to pursue a broader range of subjects than the A Level and to become both more reflective thinkers and more engaged in their local community.

Through our specialism in humanities and global citizenship, we are already committed to the aims of the International Baccalaureate Organisation of...

Developing, enquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people, committed to creating a better and more peaceful world.

Encouraging students to become active, compassionate, lifelong learners, who have a greater understanding of the world and its peoples.

These fit very comfortably with our own vision to "nurture fulfilled young people who are high achievers, discovering their vocation in a global society."

Any students or parents who are interested in the IBD and the Sixth Form are welcome to visit us. Please contact Emma Bishop to arrange an appointment.
