Magdalen College School

“The school aims to enable pupils to develop independent minds, to take pleasure in the life of ideas, to do their best in examinations and to develop an interest in and an enjoyment of a broad range of activities … Throughout the school, pupils develop knowledge, skills and understanding far beyond the levels expected for their age. Scholarship is valued, expectations are high and those who do well are respected by others. The pupils’ excellent progress in developing a high level of self-confidence, self-discipline and resilience, their understanding of how to improve their own performance and their ability to make decisions prepare them extremely well for the next stage of their lives.” There was a regulatory compliance visit in 2020 and a routine inspection in 2023.
