About Queen Ethelburga's - King's Magna Middle School

Located in the historic city of York, North Yorkshire, King’s Magna Middle School is part of the wider Queen Ethelburga group of independent schools. Providing places to children aged 10-14, the school is co-educational, and accepts both boarding and day pupils. The Middle School is intended to provide the educational advantages of a smaller school, while still allowing students to have access to the extensive facilities available in the wider school. Students at King’s Magna Middle School will go on to study at Queen Ethelburga’s College upon leaving the school, with staff ensuring a smooth and non-disruptive transition.

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.

ISI Inspection

“The pupils’ personal development is excellent throughout the school. Their spiritual development is strong and they have a highly-developed awareness of moral issues. Their social development is excellent and they have a keen awareness of cultural matters. They have a clear sense of right and wrong and, at all ages, they demonstrate a high level of mutual respect and support for each other and for all members of the school community.”
