Independent schools nationwide are stepping up to level the playing field in sports, opening doors for girls to pursue traditionally male-dominated activities with full support and opportunity. At Malvern College, we celebrate this movement through Role Model pupils like Lauren A., recently featured in Independent School Parent, who earned the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Cricket Scholarship. Named after the pioneering England captain who broke barriers for women in cricket, this scholarship supports Lauren’s athletic journey while honouring a legacy of female empowerment in sport.
Malvern College, alongside other independent schools, is fostering environments where girls can pursue excellence in sports with the same resources, scholarships, and training typically reserved for boys. Programmes like these not only enhance physical skills but also build confidence, resilience, and teamwork. Through scholarships, expert coaching, and a focus on inclusivity, Malvern College is proud to inspire the next generation of female athletes.
