About This Guide

Welcome to our independent, data-first guide to Magna Academy. Our mission is to provide parents and carers with clear, accurate, and highly useful information to assist in the crucial decision of choosing a secondary school.

Independence & Editorial Standard

This website is an entirely independent resource. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or funded by Magna Academy, the ASPIRATIONS ACADEMIES TRUST, or the BCP Council. Our content is strictly objective and grounded entirely in publicly available, official data. We never invent quotes, estimate figures, or fabricate school-specific details.

Our Data Sources

To ensure E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) standards, we rely exclusively on official data published by the UK government and Ofsted. Every metric presented on this site can be traced back to the following authoritative sources:

School Profile & Establishment Details: DfE Get Information About Schools (GIAS) bulk establishment extract
Academic Performance (KS4): DfE Compare School & College Performance — KS4 2024-2025 (Attainment 8) & 2023-2024 (Progress 8)
Ofsted Ratings & History: Ofsted 'Management information — state-funded schools — latest inspections' (Nov 2025)
Financial & Funding Information: DfE Schools Financial Benchmarking / Explore Education Statistics

Data Honesty & Caveats

We adhere to strict data honesty rules. For instance, Progress 8 data is not published nationally for the 2024-2025 cohort due to the cancellation of KS2 SATs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, any Progress 8 figures shown on this site explicitly refer to the most recent available year (2023-2024). Additionally, post-September 2024 Ofsted inspections do not carry a single headline overall grade; in such cases, we present only the category sub-judgements.
