Historic Malvern School gets a
Facelift and Opens its Doors to
Local Pupils
Schools and pupils alike have faced a time of incredible change and
challenge in the past year and a half. Now more than ever, sending
your children to a school where these challenges have been well-met
and both a safe environment and an excellent education are on offer
is paramount...
Students going into sixth form will
particularly find huge benefits from
studying at The Abbey College
in Malvern due to the doors that
independent education can open in
regards to moving on to University or
the career of their choice.
Tucked away right here in the Malvern
Hills is our very own historic Abbey
College, a residential boarding school
set on a gorgeous 70-acre campus. The
picturesque setting provides a peaceful
place for students to focus on achieving
their full academic potential, while
allowing the school to provide a large
range of sporting and social activities on
campus and a high level of residential
and personal care to each student.
The site of the Abbey College has been
used for education since 1874. The
main building was built in 1863 and the
original Abbey School moved to the site
in 1908 from two previous locations in
Worcestershire. Having developed our
high-quality education and boarding
with a family atmosphere over more than
half a century, today’s school welcomes
students from around the world onto
British academic courses (IGCSEs and
A Levels).
In the past three years, large parts of
the campus have been upgraded and
dynamic leadership has ensured that
even through Covid19, the students
have not only stayed safe and thriving,
but also achieved exceptional results.
Just under 80% of the school’s A-level
student’s achieved A* and A’s in 2020,
a testament to the small class sizes
and individual attention on offer.
Local students whose families cannot
afford independent school fees
can nonetheless have access to an
independent education at Abbey College
in Malvern.
The school is offering the opportunity of
a lifetime to the region’s pupils, making
independent education more accessible
to a wider range of pupils across the
Three Counties area.
Daniel Booker, Headteacher at Abbey
College, said, “We are really delighted to
be able to offer these opportunities for
local students who have big dreams and
are keen on a global and independent
education. Our ethos is to help mould
students into great citizens of the future
and one way to do that is through first
class education.”
Abbey College is set to offer one free
place and four additional reduced fee
spaces (at £400 per term for years 8
and 9; and £700 per term for years 10
to 13) to local students. In addition,
the school is offering a further five
scholarships to children of NHS staff.
