Headmaster Keith Metcalfe, who was also a finalist in the TES Headteacher of the Year category, commented: “These nominations are more than just awards – they’re a reflection of the values we instil in our community. The Role Models campaign was designed to showcase the kind of individuals we nurture at Malvern and it’s heartening to see that message resonate so widely.”
Malvern College’s achievements this year also include winning the Outdoor Pursuits category in The Week’s Best of the Best Awards and being shortlisted in both Music and Boarding. The College received a Silver Award in the Oppidan Education Mentoring Awards and was highly commended in the Prepared for Life category by Muddy Stilettos.
