Magdalene House is the preparatory school for Wisbech Grammar School which enrolls boys and girls from reception to year six. There were 177 pupils registered in 2008, of whom 23 were in Reception and the rest in Years 1 to 6.^[1]

History

Entrance to Magdelene House.

The school was founded in September 1997 after the closure of St Audrey's Convent school in Wisbech.^[2] The Convent was a feeder school to the Grammar school, and the then Grammar School headmaster, Robert Repper decided to transfer most of the teaching staff from the Convent and open a Junior and Infant School, now known as Magdalene House.^[3] Since its foundation, it has doubled in size to over 165 pupils.

Admission

Children are admitted to the reception class at the beginning of the school year in which they reach the age of five. All children registering are invited to spend part of a day in school when they are assessed in a manner appropriate to their age. Candidates for entry are also welcomed at all other stages of the junior school age range. Year six pupils sit an entrance examination for the senior school in January. School fees are £2,355 per term.
