A Busy Week Across the Malvern Community
It was another busy week across the Malvern community, with pupils getting involved in challenges, competitions, sport, adventure and music, alongside some fantastic achievements.
Our CCF team took on the Help for Heroes Challenge Walk, completing an impressive 18km route across the Malvern Hills with almost 1,000m of ascent. The team showed plenty of determination and team spirit throughout the challenge, while Raphael D. and Ed N. also volunteered as marshals to support the event.
There was further success in the Worcester 10km, where Austin L. finished 10th overall and first in his age group, setting a new personal best of 33:53.
At the Canoe Sprint National Championships, Doogal B. achieved an outstanding four national titles, including the prestigious K1 500m and 1000m events. Following an impressive season, he will now represent Great Britain at the Olympic Hopes Regatta in Bratislava.
There was also a brilliant result in equestrian, with Malvern taking the top prize in the highly competitive 110 class at the NSEA qualifier at Rectory Farm. It was a fantastic achievement following a day of competition involving schools from across the region.
Sport continued to feature heavily throughout the week, with prep school rugby providing another opportunity for our wider school community to get involved. Across the College, teams also competed in hockey, rackets, football and rugby, with some excellent performances and plenty of commitment on display.
Around 50 Year 8 pupils from prep schools also joined us for an Adventure Day, experiencing a range of exciting outdoor activities with the Outdoor Education team.
We were pleased to welcome PEBE to College for a session focused on girls in sport, exploring confidence, comfort and the importance of having the right support when taking part in physical activity.
Over at The Downs Malvern, there was further cause for celebration as the school was named winner of the Pastoral Care and Wellbeing category at the Talk Education Awards for Innovation in Education 2026, recognising its approach to pastoral care and the strength of its school community.
The week also featured a fantastic informal music concert, with Mr Brown and members of the Music Department performing a range of pieces in the Music School.
From the Malvern Hills to the sports field, outdoor adventures to the concert hall, it was a week full of challenge, achievement and opportunities to get involved.
