Info for Parents

All you need to keep up to date on the school calendar and important information.

At St Mary Magdalene we aim to build a strong working partnership between school and home, using our many channels of communication such as this website, the weekly newsletter, texting, specific letters and emails to keep you up-to-date on school matters.

We have an open door policy and teachers are available after school if you need an individual consultation. You can contact a member of the school office on 0207 639 1724 who can pass on your comments or email admin@stmarymagdalene.southwark.sch.uk.
