Job overview
Magdalen College School, founded in 1480, is one of the country’s leading independent day schools.
The Junior School is a remarkable corner of Magdalen College School. We are housed in School House, a stunning Victorian building overlooking the Rose Garden and Cherwell River. This offers us immediate access to the Senior School facilities whilst retaining our own independence for the younger boys; we are blessed here to be essentially two schools with one heart. We are selective from the outset with a view that any boy joining us should leave the school after completing their 6th Form. All of our boys sit the 11+ and it is rare for a child not to progress at that stage; indeed, in the previous four years all of our boys passed, gaining a significant number of awards at this transition point.
We are looking for a bright, capable individual to supervise and nurture a group of Junior School boys in their general after school activities. Ideally, you will have demonstrable experience in a similar role and will help to provide a caring, stimulating and disciplined environment in which our boys can continue to thrive.
Key responsibilities are to work as part of our After School Team including the following duties:
- Keeping a register of all boys attending ASC
- Ensuring the safe supervision and care of boys whilst in ASC
- Overall responsibility for the day-to-day running of ASC
- Maintaining appropriate behaviour at all times
- Administering first aid as required, if necessary calling Matron
- Ensuring appropriate supplies are sourced to provide a daily snack and drink for each boy in ASC
- Supervising a 40-minute prep period
- Organising appropriate and varied activities for the boys
- Ensuring the safe return of each boy to the collecting parent/guardian in accordance with school procedures
- Entrusting any boy remaining at the end of the ASC session to the teacher on late duty
- Ensuring necessary resources are available, purchasing supplies as necessary
- Being responsible for the care and condition of the room and leaving it in an appropriate condition to begin the next day’s lessons
Further details of the position and the Support Staff application form are available on our website: https://www.mcsoxford.org/vacancy/after-school-care-supervisor/
The school’s Support Staff application form, full cv, and a covering letter of application, should be e-mailed to Mrs Ana Johnson, HR Director, (recruitment@mcsoxford.org) as soon as possible. Early applications are highly encouraged. Applicants who only send a CV will be automatically rejected.
Magdalen College School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and the successful candidate will be required to undergo statutory checks before the commencement of his/her employment.

About Magdalen College School
MCS has a rich and distinctive history. The school was founded in 1480 by William Waynflete who believed in education as a facilitator of social mobility, and as such wanted to found a school of an entirely new kind. MCS quickly flourished as a school which firmly connected school education with a newly emerging university education and it soon became one of the country’s leading schools.
Today MCS provides a first-class education for boys aged 7-18 and sixth form girls. The school is small enough to develop every young person’s character and talents, yet large enough to provide a wide range of subjects and activities. MCS encourages a respect for learning whilst developing in every pupil a close interest in a wide range of extra-curricular interests.
MCS pupils enjoy a stimulating curriculum which is designed both to provide academic stretch and challenge, and to equip pupils with the skills for success beyond school.
In the early years, the emphasis is on exposing pupils to a wide range of subjects in order to discover their interests and talents. Pupils are put in sets by ability in French at 11 and in Mathematics at 12, no other subjects are set. There is an additional intake of pupils from prep and maintained schools at 13 and it is at this stage that boys make their first subject choices. Almost all pupils take ten (I)GCSEs, an increasing number of which are now reformed 9-1 (I)GCSEs.
Although MCS consistently secures outstanding public examination results, the real priority in the Sixth Form is on teaching beyond the syllabus, and the formation of habits of mind for life. In the Lower Sixth all pupils study at least four subjects, research and write their Waynflete Project (a 5000 word essay on a subject of their choice), undertake a community service or CCF placement, and participate in Games. From September 2017 all A Level (or Pre-U) courses will be linear; MCS pupils will no longer sit AS Levels. In the Upper Sixth, between one third and one half of Sixth Formers gain four or more A Levels, and there is a programme of lectures from visiting speakers, as well as UCAS applications and Games.
The School was last inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in 2017 and was recognised as “excellent” in both of the assessed outcomes: “Quality of Pupil Achievement” and “Quality of Pupil Personal Development”.
