School Description

Pupils are very happy at Magdalen Court School. They enjoy playing sports with their friends at lunchtime and breaktime. For example, pupils play badminton, hockey and table football well together. They also have many opportunities to practise their manual dexterity through making crafts such as bracelets. Pupils relish the outdoor education lessons. They develop their physical health and understanding of the natural world through visits to Dartmoor. Pupils have strong relationships with staff. This helps them to build their confidence and enjoy learning. Pupils state that other pupils are kind, helpful and respectful. Pupils can define bullying accurately. They state that bullying is not a problem and that when it occurs, it is resolved by staff immediately. Most pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. However, pupils often lose focus and become distracted when the lessons are not well planned. Pupils enjoy listening to teachers reading stories. However, they do not read regularly and with understanding. Some pupils who struggle with reading do not receive the support they require. Some pupils receive bespoke careers guidance. However, it is not systematic, and many pupils are unsure of their next steps beyond school.
