Admissions into the Sixth Form


Each September we welcome approximately 40 pupils into the Lower Sixth to begin a 2 year A Level or International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Course.


Parents should register their child 18 months in advance of the proposed term of entry. All pupils must visit the College for an interview before an offer of a place will be made. All pupils will be required to pass the Malvern College entrance test in their chosen A level or IB Higher subject choices. Entrance tests are held in November of the year prior to entry. References will also be sought from the pupil’s current school.
