Standing before St Mary Magdalene C of E School, you might be surprised by its history. This all-through school, housed in a striking modern building, has a story that delves deep into the Victorian era. The original primary school, located on Kingsman Street in Woolwich, started its journey long ago, connected to the nearby St Mary Magdalene Church. Fast forward to 2016, and plans for the school’s expansion, including a secondary school department and a sixth form, took shape. For a while, the secondary school found temporary lodgings at the Blackheath Bluecoat school in Old Dover Road, before settling down in 2019 on a brand new campus nestled on Hendon Street in the Greenwich Peninsula. This remarkable school, now encompassing two locations, stands as a testament to the growth and evolution of education in the Borough of Greenwich. What makes St Mary Magdalene C of E School unique is its dual administration, overseen by both the Greenwich London Borough Council and the Anglican Diocese of Southwark. The school also joins forces with the Koinonia Federation, which includes Christ Church Primary School in Greenwich. This union, known as the Koinonia Federation, further emphasizes the school’s strong Christian values, shaping the learning environment for students of all ages. Today, St Mary Magdalene C of E School is a beacon of learning, a place where students are encouraged to flourish and reach their full potential.
