About Us

We are delighted to welcome you to our school community.  At Magdalen Court School we are committed to keeping every child safe with the child at the centre of everything that we do.

Magdalen Court School is a Special School  that caters for nearly 70 students aged 7-18.  We provide education and care for pupils with SEMH needs presenting as high-level anxiety school refusal. 

Our Motto is

‘Belong, Believe, Achieve’

We work in partnership with parents and all other stakeholders and other relevant professionals. We treat each child as an individual and provide learning opportunities to engage learners wherever they are in their learning journey. Our aim is for learners to enjoy learning, enjoy school and to feel that they are a valued member of our Magdalen Court School family.

Our curriculum is designed to develop learners holistically, meeting their cognition and learning needs. Achieving their accreditation goals is important; however, we also ensure we develop learners’ life and social skills, preparing them for adulthood and joining the world of work in a paid or voluntary capacity.

We value the outdoors and the valuable contribution it can bring to our learner’s development, including an accreditation pathway including the John Muir and Duke of Edinburgh Awards. But also, we value the contribution the outdoors brings to positive health and wellbeing.

Our dedicated and knowledgeable staff work tirelessly to support learners in a high quality, calm and nurturing environment.

We hope our website gives you an insight into our Magdalen Court School family.
