Milla S

Milla joined Malvern College in the Foundation Year after making a remarkably brave decision: moving from a large public school in Berlin to board in the UK with only a basic grasp of English. She immediately embraced the challenge, quickly falling in love with the Malvern landscape and the boarding community. Her confidence and language skills developed rapidly, and her academics rose sharply as she discovered a natural aptitude for learning.

After securing impressive GCSE results, Milla progressed to the International Baccalaureate – an ideal match for her global outlook and wide-ranging interests. The IB has positioned her to apply to leading universities in both the UK and Europe, including Bocconi, IE Madrid, St Andrews and King’s College London.

A dedicated and supportive member of House 4, Milla is a Peer Mentor and a caring “Granny” to younger pupils. Her enthusiasm has contributed to a period of exceptional house success, including victories in House Singing, House Drama and multiple inter-house sports competitions. An accomplished athlete, she also represents the College in 1st XI hockey and football and helps lead the house’s charitable efforts as Vice-Chair of the Oscar Foundation.

Milla’s leadership made her a natural choice for Senior College Prefect. She has represented pupil voices thoughtfully, advocating for in-house Christmas parties and helping oversee the smooth transition to centralised dining- a major change she supported with maturity and clear communication.

As a Marketing Rep, she shares the vibrancy of boarding life with authenticity and pride. Confident, compassionate and internationally minded, Milla is a standout ambassador for Malvern College and an inspiring role model for her peers.
