St Mary Magdalene Academy 6th form

[Stowickthevast]

I'm interested in hearing people's experience particularly of 6th form here.

DD is quite keen, but is currently at a more academic school. She likes SMMA because it's nearer home, in a nicer part of town and good for languages - she wants to do German.

Nice. Not hugely pushy. Not party-heavy like Camden. Low staff turnover. Some to Oxbridge but often for lower-demand subjects. A fairly long tail of low grades some years; you’d want to be motivated but that’s the case anywhere.

Thanks @clamshell24. Good to hear that staff turnover is low. DD is pretty motivated - currently at grammar.

I didn't realise that Camden was particularly party heavy. She was keen but no German and unlikely to get a place, she's on the waiting list but we're quite far. The other one she's considering is LaSwap.

She's got offers from a couple of others too but they're either too far away or don't do the subjects she wants.
