St Mary Magdalene Academy, Islington & EGA

[al1979]

Hello all. Is it possible to get into SMMA if your child isn't in a CoE primary or a regular church attender? Basically, can I get a geographical place for dd? We're south of the Euston Road so quite far. EGA is closer but I'm not sure between them for an academically inclined child.

For SMMA I think you’d need to look into the governors’ places (based on an aptitude test).

Admissions criteria are on their website:

Distance places for SMMA didn’t (in 2017) extend as far south as the Angel, let alone Euston Rd:
