About The Magna Carta School
The Magna Carta School is an 11-16 academy in the Unity Schools Trust based in Staines-Upon-Thames, with approximately 1100 students on role. The school is a founder member of The Unity Schools Trust and the 1215 Learning Partnership, determined to enhance lives for young people across this area of Surrey.
The school has a long and proud tradition of educating students from our local community. To facilitate high aspirations, progress and achievement, we have high expectations of behaviour, rooted in respect for one another. We are particularly proud of our students; they are aspirational and enthusiastic about their learning and as a result make good progress and achieve impressive GCSE results. They consistently and successfully progress on to further education and apprenticeships.
Our Academy Council provides a strong voice for students to present their ideas and concerns and to develop the skills necessary to become advocates for positive change. We believe listening to, and reflecting upon, the experience of our whole school community is an important part of our continuous development journey.
We strive to provide a welcoming, challenging, secure and inclusive learning environment where all students and staff feel that they belong. We are committed to realising our vision that Learning Shapes Lives by creating a culture in which everyone aspires to achieve in a reflective educational environment and a school community where together we learn to know, to do, to be and to live together.
If you think you can make a positive and confident contribution to our team, we would be delighted to hear from you.

- Ofsted 2022“I joined The Magna Carta School several years ago and there are many things I love about the School: I highly respect and appreciate my colleagues, I feel that the team in our faculty are highly efficient, effective, and collaborative. The Senior Leadership Team listen to any concerns and offer advice and support whenever requested. They will do their utmost to ensure any problems are resolved, no matter how big or small. It has been a very long time since I have been given such respect in a job and felt as happy as I am now in my role.”
