Uniform
Magdalen College School uniform is available for purchase online from School Blazer.
For details on MCS required clothing, please see the Junior School, Senior School and Sixth Form uniform lists.
Buying uniform online is simple and straightforward; MCS has a customised area on the School Blazer website with sizing guides. For convenience, and to make it easier to locate any uniform lost, all garments come with named tags sewn in.
Items of uniform and sports kit are also available to buy through the Second-hand Shop, which is run by the MCS Parents‘ Association. The shop is open on Thursday afternoons from 3:30 – 4:30 pm. If you have any queries, please email mcspasecondhandshop@gmail.com.
The shop relies on the generous donation of clothing items from parents and on parent volunteers to run it. Donations of clothing and sports kit in good condition are always welcome and can be left at the shop or Reception. Second-hand Shop labels should be attached, with a safety pin, to those items of MCS crested sports kit and JS coats and jumpers for which donors wish to receive 50% of the sale price. Other donations need not be labelled.
All monies raised go to the PA to support school clubs and other activities.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the Magdalen College School Parents’ Association through Akanksha Jain, PA Chair.
