Salima Hyde
Head of Development

After five years of working in educational fundraising, mostly in Cambridge, I am delighted to be taking up the position of Head of Development at Magdalen College School this spring.

I graduated from St John's College, Cambridge with a degree in Classics and Social and Political Sciences, and took up my first job in development in 2005, at the Perse School in Cambridge.  I then moved into higher education, running the Annual Fund at Jesus College for two years, before then moving into major gifts fundraising at St John's College.  After relocating to Oxford in April 2009, I spent a year as Associate Development Director at University College, Oxford.   

MCS is an extraordinary school, buzzing with energy, ambition and purpose, and I am very much looking forward to working with OWs, staff, parents and pupils as the next phase of the School's development plans moves forward.  I feel very privileged to be joining MCS at such an exciting time and I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know as many OWs and friends of the School as possible.
