I know it's a game, but ikenfell is also a nice indie game about magic witches.

Owl House and Little Witch Academia are great, and there's a British live action show called The Worst Witch, which is a little corny, but fun.

The Owl House is just… I mean… hell, I ADORE that show, and I’ve never been more vested in a relationship than on that one. I haven’t seen the final movies yet—didn’t air in Canada and weren’t on D+ until months afterwards, AND I need to emotionally prep myself because I’m afraid it’ll wreck me.

Little Witch Academia is soo good, even has a pro-union episode. Which is such a great episode, and does so much more with the narrative on that

I’d even throw in Kiki’s Delivery Service as a recommendation. While it’s not about a wizarding school, it’s about a young child who’s learning how to be a magic user. I haven’t read the novel, but the movie is wonderful.

Reign of the Seven Spellblades. Some of it reads like almost a direct argument against HP, like actively having the character who starts campaigning for non-human rights ACTUALLY RISKING HER LIFE CONSTANTLY in support of non-human rights...

There's also Septimus Heap, while not technically a "school" Septimus does still learn magic over the course of the series.

Try my Worldweavers series, too. Book 1 in the series ("Gift of the unmage") has recently achieved the distinction of getting BANNED in Florida, putting me in some very fine company indeed (hello, Mr Gaiman, fancy meeting YOU there...)
