School Description

The Courtyard is a small special free school, established in September 2013. The school’s first inspection in April 2015, judged overall effectiveness to require improvement. The school forms part of the St Mary Magdalene Academy Trust and is overseen by the trustees and the executive director. It is led and managed by its own headteacher and governing body. Most pupils study for some of their time to St Mary Magdalene Academy. The school moved the new premises in September 2016.
