From the The Magna Carta School
Where your child attends school is one of the most crucial decisions you will ever make. To ensure that your child feels secure and content, you will want a school that achieves high standards, offers a wide variety of academic and extracurricular options, and recognises the value of pastoral care and support. We at The Magna Carta School can be justly proud of what we've accomplished. We have a sincere commitment to the neighbourhood we serve. Every young child is seen as an individual with unique talents that should be developed. Every student is urged to put up their best effort and strive for success in order to feel good about their efforts. We put a lot of effort into making a learning atmosphere that is not only exciting and joyful, but also, and this is crucial, satisfies the needs of each and every young child in our care. By maintaining a culture and ethos in the school that is reflected by our school motto: Respect...Learn...Aspire...Achieve, we are encouraging students to become self-assured, considerate, and understand their role in society and the rights and responsibilities that this brings.
