St Mary Magdalene C of E School is a co-educational, all-through school based in Greenwich, south-east London. The school has both primary and secondary phases. The secondary phase has approximately 560 students aged 11-18 and 80 staff.
St Mary Magdalene is now one large school with two campuses, serving very different communities:
The first and founding school campus in Woolwich is a two-form entry primary school. The school building was completely rebuilt with a modern building which opened in March 2011 when the school expanded from one form entry to two form entry.
The second campus is on the Greenwich Peninsula which opened in November 2018 - it is Greenwich’s first all-through school building. The new all-through campus now has thirteen classes across EYFS, KS1 and KS2 which are part of a newly emerging community on the Peninsula. The six-form entry secondary phase has 900 students across Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. In September 2021 we moved forward with our Federation's expansion and opened a sixth form with capacity for 300 students.
Values and vision
St Mary Magdalene C of E School aims to teach pupils to treat others as they would expect to be treated. The pastoral structure of the school ensures that every student is known individually. Children are provided with opportunities to develop their mentoring and leadership skills. The school specialises in Religious Studies and collective worship is a key part of each school day. Teachers intend collective worship, which is led by senior leaders or the School Chaplain, to be a creative and responsive time that follows the Anglican calendar and also acknowledges the key dates of other faiths.
Inspections
St Mary Magdalene All Through School was inspected by SIAMS in 2018 and was graded Outstanding in all areas. It was also inspected by Ofsted in 2023 and remained GOOD in all areas.
