Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Children from Year 2, who have been learning to play a musical instrument, represented our school brilliantly at the Infant Celebration Concert.
Both the string and brass groups performed a piece of music before they joined other Year 2 children from across Milton Keynes to perform a range of pieces, as a large ensemble. They were fantastic and we are very proud of their musical progress.
Yesterday (6th May 2025) 30 year 6 children visited Eton school. We had a great day. The children as usual were very well behaved.
After our packed lunch the children carried out three energy experiments. We then moved to biology to dissect an owl pellet and examine what the owl had eaten. The final session was physics. Here the children explored communication using morse code, sending and receiving messages with a spy in the middle trying to break the code.
We left at 3.15 pm. Eton gave each pupil a small gift to remember their visit.
Next school year we will have two visits.
Congratulations to Elizabeth in Year 5 for getting her black belt in karate!
What an amazing achievement!
The children thoroughly enjoyed an assembly yesterday delivered by the Milton Keynes Music Service.
We listened to a range of pieces performed by the musicians on their woodwind instruments.
It was fantastic to experience a live orchestral performance and to learn more about the instruments.
This morning Mrs Cathy Stormonth from CAFOD led a Big Lent Walk whole school assembly and presented us with this wonderful banner before the walks commence. Children will walk a prescribed number of laps of the school field perimeter! Our collective steps will more than cover the 200km target set by CAFOD. Each child will receive a sticker and prayer card as a thank you.

Our years 3/4 badminton team put on a fantastic display of skill and determination at this year’s annual tournament! With impressive individual matches and resilience, the pupils showcased their talent, finishing in an outstanding 2nd place—missing out on the top spot by just three points. A huge well done to all our pupils for their hard work and sportsmanship. We are incredibly proud of their achievement!
The children who attend Rocksteady performed for their parents. They sounded amazing!
Some of our Year 3/4 pupils took part in the annual Basketball Tournament at St Paul’s, an action-packed event filled with energy, teamwork, and incredible sportsmanship! Our young players showcased their growing skills, from fast dribbles to impressive shots, all while supporting their teammates with enthusiasm. Every game was played with determination and fair play, making it a fantastic experience for all involved. A huge well done to the team for their amazing effort—finishing 2nd place overall is an outstanding achievement!
The Student Council decided to make a 'Get Well Card' for Ann Baird our caretaker. Every class contributed a page with their own get well messages. At St Mary Magdalene we love and care for each other. We all wish Ann a speedy recovery and to tell her we miss hearing her voice. God bless and see you soon.
The card and flowers were delivered to Ann at home.
We have been very lucky to have Cathy Stormonth from CAFOD here to work with all year groups on Catholic Social Teaching. Here are the dates and subjects she will be covering. Photos will be on each class's page under the class photos section.
