About Malvern College

Malvern College UK is a day and boarding school founded in 1865. Together with its preparatory school, The Downs Malvern, Malvern College provides high quality education for boys and girls aged from 3 to 18 years. The School is renowned for its innovative approach to education; it pioneered the adoption of the Nuffield Science teaching approach (learning by experimenting) and was one of the first UK schools to adopt the IB Diploma programme and the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme. Malvern College UK now has an enviable reputation for being one of the most established IB schools in the UK and it comfortably beats the world average scores in all subject areas.

Thanks to its academic rigour, scientific heritage and its desire to offer a holistic education, the College, together with The Downs Malvern, has produced four Nobel Prize Winners: Francis William Aston, a Chemist; James Meade, an Economist; Alan Hodgkin, a physiologist; and Frederick Sanger, a Biochemist and double Nobel Laureate. Other famous alumni or, as they are referred to, ‘Old Malvernians’, include R. E. Foster, the only man to have captained both England football and cricket teams; C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia; Lord MacLaurin, the former Chairman of Tesco and Vodafone and until recently, Chairman of Malvern College; and Baron Weatherill, the former Speaker of the British House of Commons, as well as psychologist Edward Titchener, and England’s current Chief Medical Officer, Sir Chris Whitty.

40% of the 2022 International Baccalaureate (IB) cohort achieved 40 points or over (out of a maximum 45 points). Worldwide, only 1% of candidates score more than 44 points but, in 2022, four candidates managed to achieve this accolade. The average points scored, over the past five years, by Malvern’s graduates has maintained the schools consistently excellent level of 37 points, which compares favourably to the 2022 world average of 32 points.
