We don't think Open Days are that useful, Magdalen Court is all about meeting the individual child's needs. So we invite you to come and visit our school on any day. Get a feel for a normal day at Magdalen Court, see how friendly we are.

Mornings are best. The end of any term is a little hectic with our termly concerts, so possibly not the best time to visit!

Although we are happyto accommodate you then to if you wish.

Admissions are undertaken through the school office, where they will arrange a meeting with the Head Teacher Mrs Wrightson who will give you an overview of the school, find out about your children, explain in detail what Magdalen Court can do for your children and draw out some key teachers for you to meet and ask any questions you may have.

We encourage you to bring your children with you, it's important they are involved in the selection of a new school as you. We ask two pupils from their prospective class to show your child around the school. Then if they feel confident enough, to join their class for part of their normal lessons and to go out to break with their two mentors. It will give them a terrific insight into our school.

Parents are shown around the school by one of the staff or two or our pupils if you prefer, you will be shown every class and all the facilities of our school. You will have a great opportunity to see the school running on a normal day and ask any questions you wish, from your guides or the pupils and staff you meet throughout the school.

We think you will be impressed with what you hear and see. So the next step is a free taster day for your children in school. It can be more than a day if you wish, or if your children are nervous, a couple of taster mornings are a lovely way for them to settle into our wonderfully supportive school.

If you choose to send your child to Magdalen Court, we will get them to sit a series of internal and external tests, after they have settled in, and along with the individual teacher assessments we can draw up a very personal education plan for your child to help them meet their potential at Magdalen Court.

Drop us a line or e-mail and book a morning which works for you.

Mrs Sarah Wrightson Head Teacher
