The school is proud of its high academic standards and its pastoral care. There is a broad curriculum which is intended to give all pupils breadth and depth in a range of disciplines. We have offered the International Baccalaureate as an alternative to A levels since 1992 and approximately 50% of our Sixth Form choose each course of study. Results are excellent and pupils consistently secure places at Russell Group universities, including Oxford and Cambridge and an increasing number of pupils go to Ivy League or top universities in the US and Canada. Malvern College is a SAT centre.

We are a traditional full boarding school with 77% of our pupils boarding and weekends are busy with a full programme of activities.

Pupils eat in their Houses creating the family feel for which Malvern is well-known.
