Magdalen Court School
Exeter, Devon, South West · EX2 4NU
With around 120 pupils, Magdalen Court School is a notably small independent in Exeter, offering a non-selective, intimate setting under Head Ms Rowena Schofield. Its size means classes are likely to be small and individual attention easier to come by, which may suit families seeking a close-knit environment rather than a large institution. The school is inspected by the ISI and takes pupils from age 11, with an 11+ entry route. There is no religious character and no boarding provision.

Teaching & academics
Pupils work towards GCSEs, the school's headline qualification. Published headline figures are well below national benchmarks: an Attainment 8 score of 2.5 against a national average of 46.9, and 0% of pupils reaching grade 5 or above in English and Maths, compared with 47% nationally. Parents will want to discuss these results directly with the school, particularly given its very small cohort, where a handful of pupils can heavily influence the overall figures.
