The Magna Carta School is an 11–16 academy school in Staines, England, which has been awarded specialisms in Technology and ICT. It is named after Magna Carta due to its proximity to Runnymede, where the document was signed. The school contains over 1200 pupils including over 60 prefects.
At an OfSTED inspection in 2022, the school received an Inspection Grade of 3 (Requires Improvement).[1]
