Welcome to Magna Academy

We are delighted to welcome you to Magna Academy and our Outstanding Sixth Form (Ofsted, 2023) 

Our Sixth Form continues to grow from strength to strength, a testament to the hard work and commitment demonstrated by staff and students. At Magna Academy, we are proud to offer a varied curriculum covering a range of both Academic and Professional pathways that can be tailored specifically to meet the needs of each individual. Students in our Sixth Form benefit from inspirational teaching and make excellent progress.

Making the correct choices at post-sixteen marks a crucial stage in your education during which you will be making key decisions about your future. Students in our sixth form get expert advice to help them decide on the most suitable next steps for them. ‘There has been a substantial increase in the number moving on to university, particularly to those that are the most selective.’ (Ofsted 2023)

We are dedicated to and recognised by Ofsted in equipping students to thrive in the fast moving, ever-changing world. We are committed, not only to providing the very best standard of education, but also the most effective pastoral support and enrichment opportunities.

A wealth of guidance provided by experienced staff enables each student to make the most of their abilities and talents, fully preparing them for the next stage of their journey. As a result, students studying with us at Magna Academy leave as mature, responsible, resilient individuals who have a genuine love of learning.

Rebecca

September 2008

University

Rebecca also came up through the academy and left Sixth Form in 2020. She is now studying Modern History and Politics at the University of Southampton. Unfortunately, many of the societies she wished to partake in were curtailed due to COVID. However, she successfully auditioned for the Advanced Ballet Squad competition team, and did weekly rehearsals on ZOOM which kept her motivated despite online lectures and seminars. Rebecca also engaged in projects with the Holocaust Education Trust and gave a presentation on the discrimination of Jews before the Final Solution to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

Dario

September 2015

University

Dario came over to England from Sardinia in 2014, joining Magna Academy in 2015. Whilst at Magna, he fell in love with the Arts and decided to choose Music and Drama as two of his GCSEs. He was able to progress through to studying Performing Arts at Bournemouth and Poole College as Magna Academy did not have a sixth form at that time. Dario is currently in his second year at Arts University Bournemouth studying Musical Theatre.

Amy

September 2017

University

Amy was our Head Girl in Year 11 and was a great inspiration to younger students. In Sixth Form, she once spent a very attentative half-hour looking after a nervous Magna student on a Sixth Form Open Evening. She left Magna in 2019 to attend the University of Portsmouth, where she is studying Biology. She hopes to go on to take a Masters in Microbiology. Amy hopes to eventually take up work in the very topical field of research for vaccination and disease control.
