Oxford, United Kingdom Magdalen College School Full time

**The School**:
Magdalen College School, founded in 1480 by William of Waynflete, is one of the country’s leading independent day schools. It is situated in an enviable location at the heart of Oxford beside the River Cherwell. Shaped by its Christian Collegiate foundation and links with the university city of which it is part, it aims to inspire in all its pupils a desire to learn, flourish and to serve.

The school will celebrate its 550th anniversary in 2030. The current generation of MCS staff and pupils wish to ensure that we shape a School that is able to flourish for at least another half millennium, and hopefully many more beyond. There are around 980 pupils, boys 7-18 and Sixth Form Girls, and 200 staff who learn and work on the school’s central Oxford site.

**The Department**:
The Art Department consists of two full time and two part time Art teachers, one part time DT teacher, an Artist in Residence and two technicians who form a close-knit team sharing ideas and resources freely. Communication, adaptability, hard work and a good sense of humour are fundamental to the department’s success.
- Please see the Information Pack for more information._

**The Role**:
As part of an agreement between Magdalen College School (MCS) and Magdalen Road Studios (MRS), the school will sponsor the costs of a studio space for an artist for a 12-month period. The School will also benefit from access to the MRS gallery space and The Artist-in-Residence (AIR) will offer a series of twilight workshops after school at MRS or MCS for small groups of scholarship pupils leading to two annual exhibitions of pupil work at MRS. The AIR will also produce a piece of work which reflects their practice for permanent display in the school by the end of the academic year. In addition, the AIR will work for three quarters of a day in the Art Department at MCS during term time. This is likely to be from 11am to 6pm on a Thursday (with an hour for lunch) and include joining timetabled lessons, leading Art clubs and societies, and producing materials (newsletters etc.) to inspire pupils. The ¾ day (0.15 Full Time Equivalent) at MCS will be salaried. The full-time equivalent salary is £24,255pa, so pro-rata to 0.15FTE, this would be £3638.25pa. There may also be the opportunity to take on the supervision of one of the school’s Community Service Organisation (CSO) placements, and this would be considered an additional 0.1FTE.
- take a keen interest in the welfare of pupils;
- show clear commitment to safeguarding children;
- be a well-qualified graduate of Art or a related discipline;
- independently plan and deliver workshops to pupils of a range of ages in an engaging manner;
- have excellent written and spoken communication skills;
- have sound IT skills;
- have the ability to work collaboratively and effectively as part of a wider team;
- display a high level of attention to detail;
- work hard to support pupil progress;
- be willing to take part in continuing professional development;
- respond positively to feedback;
- understand the safe use of equipment and materials used in the Art department and share responsibility for the safe conduct and good behaviour of pupils in the Art department;
- make frequent, regular and serious use of their studio space, and ensure they work in accordance with the requirements set out by MRS to their tenants;
- produce and present a piece of their own work by the end of their residency (August) to the school with the intention of it being used by MCS for permanent display;
- produce a short, half-termly written report/bulletin, providing an update on how they have used the studio over the preceding months;
- plan and run at least 8 ‘twilight’ workshops over the course of the academic year for groups of pupils. It is expected that these would typically run between 4 and 6pm, to a maximum group size of approximately 12 pupils. These pupils would typically be those holding Art Scholarships, but there may be opportunities to work with other groups or classes. The core aims of the workshop are to allow pupils to gain insight into the work of a professional artist and the use of their studio space, and to encourage pupils to approach art-making in ways than they might not encounter within a school setting: this might involve collaborative group work, or responding to a more challenging conceptual approach. A workshop might begin with pupils being shown the artist’s studio space, and some workshops may take place in the school studios for practical reasons. Twilight workshops might offer stand-alone, one-off activities, or be developed into a series of sessions working towards a more ambitious outcome. MCS staff will organise parental permission and a member of teaching staff will accompany the pupils. Running the session will be the remit of the AIR. Basic equipment and resources can be provided by the School’s Art Department, through advance planning and discussion;
