Magdalen College School received a superb review in the Tatler Schools Guide 2024, an impartial guide to the top public and prep schools in the UK.
This year, the guide recognises our “outstanding” academic results whilst highlighting our music provision, including House Music and Madrigals on the River.
There’s also high praise for Master Helen Pike, who has been nominated in the category of ‘Best Head of a Public School’ in the Tatler Schools Awards 2024. The winner will be announced at a ceremony in London on Monday 25 September.
