As a student at Magna Academy, we want to you achieve academic and social success. We promote the sense of belonging through our House system and encourage healthy competition.
The introduction of a house system from September 2020 has offered all students the opportunity to experience different aspects of both personal and individual success. The Academy has been divided into three internal Houses, they comprise of two tutor groups from each year group. This allows students of all ages the opportunity to work together, creating a truly cohesive environment and ensuring that age is not a barrier to friendship and collaboration.
Each House will have a member of the senior leadership team as a figurehead who will promote all opportunities for personal and team success. Your tie will distinguish which House you represent:
- Talbot House (Green)
- Anning House (Purple)
- Webster House (Red)
Staff are also divided into each house and will support all events, competitions and charitable opportunities.

The House system will allow students to feel part of something bigger, outside of their year group and the wider academy community. Many competitions will see students compete against others from their own year group, however, the points awarded work vertically too, so not only are you gaining points for your individual tutor group, you are contributing to your overall house total.
Our House system promotes the opportunity for you to develop; Individual leadership skills, communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team. All of these essential skills for life after Magna. Certain leadership roles will be formed as a result of the house system, e.g. House Captains, as well the well-established Student President positions.
The House system searches for ways that students and staff can feel more connected to, and involved with, the community around them. It facilitates discussions between the most junior and most senior members of the academy and fosters a healthy competitive spirit along the way.
