Head of Social Sciences

L7-L11 (£57,831 - £63,815)
Required for September 2025

Our thriving Social Science Faculty (PCSHE, Sociology, Psychology, Business Studies, Economics & EPQ) is seeking a new leader. Based at our historic St John’s Site you will lead a team teaching largely exam groups. Oversight of PCSHE across the whole school is a vital part of this role.

Magdalen College School has 475 years of history and a place at the centre of the Brackley community. As we enter a new chapter of our story under new leadership, we have an opportunity for a colleague who: 

  • Loves working with young people
  • Is motivated by a passion for their subject area within a broad curriculum
  • Wants the best for every individual
  • Is open to learning, reflection, feedback and self-improvement

In return we can offer: 

  • A warm, welcoming, and ‘people-focused’ community of students, staff and parents
  • A school with good behaviour where every subject is valued
  • Caring, supportive and inspiring leadership

We are an increasingly diverse community and greatly value the contribution that colleagues from different backgrounds and with different experiences bring to our school.

I’d be delighted to speak to you about this opportunity and show you round before you apply. Please get in contact by email or phone 01280 846300.
