Values and Vision
King’s Magna takes very seriously the job of helping its students develop personally during an extremely important part of their life. To this end, the school provides a range of sporting and extra-curricular activities outside the classroom in order to ensure that pupils are able to develop their emotional and social intelligence as well as their academic ability. The curriculum at King’s Magna’s is of a high quality in terms of both teaching and resources, and begins to expand on the subjects that students will have become familiar with in the lower school.
