The best way to find out about MCS is to visit us. We would be delighted to welcome you at any of the Open Events listed below, and very much encourage you to visit the school and to come and meet us.
Upcoming Autumn Open Events
While we still very much hope that these events will be able to take place, given the current circumstances we are putting alternative plans in motion just in case we are unable to meet you in person.
We will be offering our Whole School Open Morning on 19 September as one of our popular Virtual Events. If we later find we are able to welcome you in person, as we very much hope, we will contact attendees with more information about visiting.
If you would like us to keep you informed of any updates by email please let us know:
Our Virtual Open Events over the summer months have so far given over 350 families the opportunity to get a feel for life at MCS, including an address from the Master, key teaching staff and the chance to hear from pupils about their experience of joining our school. If you would like to watch a recording of our June events please contact admissions@mcsoxford.org and we will send you a link and password.

These events are very popular so do please book well in advance.
