Our daughter has been at St Mary Magdalen's for 3 years now and we've seen her grow into a confident and compassionate child. The staff are always approachable and offer fantastic support to both the children and parents. The school's values truly shine through in everything they do.

"Excellent Education and Community"

We moved to Seaham from the city and were worried about the local schools. But St Mary Magdalen's has exceeded our expectations in every way. The teachers are knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and the school's strong sense of community has made us feel welcome from day one.
