"Excellent school, wonderful values"

We've been at Magnus for 3 years now and we've found it to be an excellent school. The values of determination, integrity, ambition, humility and compassion are truly inspiring and the staff are very supportive. My child has really thrived here and I feel confident that they are receiving a well-rounded education.

"Fabulous facilities and staff"

We visited the school recently and were blown away by the facilities. The sports hall, drama studio and library are all fantastic. The staff are also very welcoming and seem to genuinely care about the students. We're really hoping to get our child in here next year.

"Mixed experience"

We had a bit of a mixed experience at Magnus. Our child had a great time in Year 7 and 8, but things started to go downhill in Year 9. The pastoral support was lacking and my child felt a bit lost. However, the teachers were generally good and the facilities are excellent. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I wouldn't rush to recommend it.
