Our Schools
The Magna Carta School
The Magna Carta School has a long and proud tradition of educating students from our local community. We work collaboratively both with our sister school, The Bishop David Brown School, in Woking and with all of our feeder primary schools. As a founder member of Unity Schools Trust we seek to develop excellence through collaboration. In pursuit of this vision we aim to provide a culture and a curriculum which both: model the standards of excellence which enable us to all play a part in our wider society; to impart the knowledge which empowers us to become the best version of ourselves.
Our school’s motto is Learning shapes lives, a maxim which directs all that we do. Education is the greatest of privileges which offers growth, development and advancement on a level playing field. No matter where we begin, education plays a significant part in shaping where we will go and gives us the scaffolding that enables us to progress.
To facilitate high aspirations, progress, and achievement we have high expectations of behaviour, rooted in respect for one another. To work well we must all act with courtesy, co-operation, and common sense. We consider self-respect and consideration for others as valuable life behaviours and aim to create an environment where positive contributions to the school and local community by students and staff are noticed and celebrated.
We endeavour to create a community in which everyone is able to fulfil their aspirations in a nurturing and affirming environment.
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.
Students who attend The Magna Carta School continue to make good progress in their learning and to achieve impressive GCSE results. They consistently and successfully progress on to further education and apprenticeships, and subsequently to universities (including Russell Group and Oxbridge) and the work place.
We are committed to creating a reflective educational environment and a school community where together we learn to know, to do, to be and to live together.

Bishop David Brown School
Bishop David Brown School is situated in Sheerwater, near Woking. Currently a secondary school of 600 students, it is rapidly expanding and is at the heart of a local regeneration project that has resulted in the construction of a state of the art leisure centre on school grounds with outstanding external sporting facilities. The school site is well maintained and has benefited from extensive internal and external refurbishment in recent years.
Judged as Good with many outstanding features at its last Ofsted inspection in February 2019 the school continues to embed and improve upon the good progress made by students. Behaviour is very good in the school with students having a positive attitude to learning with excellent punctuality. Safeguarding is judged as outstanding.
Bishop David Brown School has retained its specialism as a school for the Performing Arts, and we are proud of the numerous extra-curricular activities available, including innovative school productions, dance and community festivals . The PE department offers sports ranging from the traditional such as football and netball, to the more individual sports of trampolining and cheerleading. This gives all our students an opportunity to excel in this important area of development to enable them to move on to the next stage of their education as well-rounded and enthusiastic individuals.
Bishop David Brown School aims to promote parental engagement with the school, running a successful Parent Forum that contributes to school improvement.
