Welcome to Malvern

When you’re part of the Malvern family, you are always at home.

Wrapped in the warm embrace of the glorious Malvern Hills our two idyllic campuses we help pupils achieve success not only academically, but also socially, readying them for the next steps in their lives. With an admired and distinguished history, Malvern alumni have helped to shape the modern world of science, sport, literature and the arts for generations.

Why choose Malvern?

Malvern College, an educational trailblazer, boasts a history marked by innovation. As the first independent school to introduce a language laboratory, a pioneer of Nuffield Physics in the 1960s, and an early adopter of the International Baccalaureate, we have consistently been a frontrunner in academic excellence.

Beyond our academic prowess, we are renowned for our commitment to a well-rounded education. From sporting triumphs, particularly on the cricket green, to the arts and outdoor pursuits, Malvernians are given the best opportunities to pursue their passions – whether that’s hitting a six or performing in a show.

At the College, we strive to create a space for pupils to gain the knowledge, skills, and drive to confidently enter the world – ready to achieve their ambitions. A Malvern education is the foundation you need to successfully live the life you want. Pupils’ academic support is constantly prioritised by teachers and tutors. Teachers will stay after hours to assist pupils who need it – leaving no child behind.

Surrounded by the Malvern Hills and close to the River Wye, the beautiful countryside surrounding Malvern allows for activities that empower our pupils’ physical health. But more than just an active lifestyle, this closeness to nature brings our pupils and staff a unique sense of health & well-being. Away from big cities, our school environment is calming, grounding, and centring. We create a space for the mind to think freely and explore possibilities, unbothered by distractions or disruptions. A supportive and inspiring home-from-home.
