We offer both the International Baccalaureate (IB) and A levels at Malvern College providing a fantastic range of subject choice in both courses of study. In 2023 our UCAS tariff points, combining both A levels and the IB, was 160. This equates to an average of AAB grades and an A grade in EPQ at A level.

League Table Information

Along with many other independent schools, Malvern College does not voluntarily participate in national league tables, which can be misleading and only give a one-dimensional picture of a school, attempting to rank schools solely on the criterion of perceived success in public examinations.
