These through‑school rates are published separately from the 2026/27 headline figures above.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Fees are payable in advance and, for convenience, the school divides the school year into three equal termly instalments. Parents are contractually responsible for the full fees for the agreed notice period and for the boarding element of the final term where applicable.
- The school operates a Fees in Advance scheme (prepayment option). Advance lump‑sum payments into that scheme must be settled by bank transfer only and are subject to separate terms and conditions.

- There are no refunds for unused included boarding nights for day boarders; separate rules apply to cancellations and withdrawal and to fees in lieu of notice — parents remain contractually liable according to the agreed notice provisions. Published terms make clear that fees will not be refunded for absence through sickness or for early release after public examinations in most circumstances.

Fee payment options and practical notes on making payments

- The Fees in Advance (prepayment) option requires payment by bank transfer only. Advance scheme terms set out accepted payment instruments for that product.
- Standard termly billing is organised on a termly basis and fees are payable in advance per term. Detailed payment instructions, accepted instruments and payment deadlines are issued on invoices and in the school's contractual documents to families at the point of offer and on subsequent invoices. Parents remain contractually responsible for ensuring fees are paid by the published due dates.

Refunds and notice obligations (summary)

- The acceptance deposit will normally be credited against the final account when a pupil leaves; other refund possibilities are governed by the school's terms and any specific scheme terms (for example refunds of unused portions of Fees in Advance are subject to the scheme's terms and any deductions for fees in lieu of notice). The school's contractual terms set out the notice period required to avoid liability for fees in lieu of notice. Published guidance states that fees are not normally refunded for sickness absence or early release after examinations.

- All headline tuition figures above are published as termly amounts; the school year is billed in three equal termly instalments and parents are contractually liable for fees as set out in the school's parent contract and scheme terms.
- Expect additional charges for specialist lessons, examination entries, certain materials and some activities; published per‑unit charges are available for lessons and some services. Sibling discounts and specific fee remissions (for eligible HM Forces families and through‑school progression) are applied according to published eligibility rules.
Academics

Malvern College teaches British Curriculum, IB (DP) for students aged 0 to 18.

Pupils typically go on to Russell Group universities in the UK, including Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Imperial College London, UCL, Durham, Edinburgh, and others, with pathways to European and North American institutions. The college organises university fairs, careers evenings and interview preparation to help with applications, degree choices and gap-year planning.

Gifted and Talented

Curricular provision for able and talented pupils is included in the Curriculum Policy 2024, providing a framework for identifying and developing advanced work and enrichment opportunities within the Malvern College curriculum.
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Strong relationships are the cornerstone of pupil wellbeing. The House system sits at the heart of the pastoral structure, creating communities where every pupil belongs, with Houseparents who know pupils as individuals. Every pupil has a tutor, and conversations extend beyond academics to discuss boarding life and overall wellbeing. The international character of the community supports inclusive integration and mutual respect. The wellbeing provision is embedded in daily life, not treated as a separate programme, and focuses on personal and social development through relationships. The wellbeing and personal development framework emphasises social-emotional skills as part of developing confident, resilient learners.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Malvern College has a Special Educational Needs policy that promotes a whole-college approach to SEND. The SENDCo liaises closely with Heads of Department over provision and schemes of work that support identified needs. The college follows the guidelines of major exam boards (JCQ, CAIE and the IBO) when supporting pupils with specific needs or examination concessions. Pupils with identified SEN receive appropriate support under the policy, with inclusive practices across the College. The policy was issued on 18 September 2024 and next review is 1 October 2025. The policy applies to all pupils on roll and requires staff to work to planned SEND provision.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Malvern College provides quality education in English for pupils from diverse cultural backgrounds and offers support for pupils who are not native English speakers. The EAL Department aims to give overseas pupils the linguistic ability and confidence to engage with studies, activities and social interactions. Language lessons promote not only language acquisition but also understanding of the cultures that accompany it, with home languages valued. EAL is flexible and tailored to different learning styles and needs, while introducing pupils to Malvern's pedagogical approaches. Foundation Year and Lower Sixth receive two fifty-minute EAL lessons per week, Remove to Hundred receive two to three lessons per week, with additional 1-to-1 tuition and IELTS support as needed. An EAL clinic runs weekly, and there is IELTS provision for candidates.

Mental Wellbeing

Dedicated mental health support is available to pupils at Malvern College, including professional counselling for issues from homesickness to anxiety. Many House staff and teachers are trained Youth Mental Health First Aiders to recognise signs of distress and respond appropriately. The wellbeing curriculum, delivered through PSHE, covers mental health, healthy relationships, digital citizenship and self-care strategies. Support is integrated into daily life and boarding routines, ensuring timely access without external appointments. The goal is to equip pupils with emotional resilience and practical skills for personal growth and academic success.

Safeguarding

Malvern College has a safeguarding policy to protect and support pupils, with the aim of safeguarding and promoting welfare, safety, health and well-being by creating an honest, open, caring and supportive environment. The policy assigns overall safeguarding leadership to the designated safeguarding lead, supported by deputy DSLs and a safeguarding governor, and requires all staff, volunteers and visitors to act on safeguarding matters. The policy details reporting structures, CPOMS recording, and escalation processes, and aligns with statutory guidance including Keeping Children Safe in Education. The policy identifies staff training, online safety, and roles and responsibilities for safeguarding across the College. It provides clear contact points for the DSL and deputies, and outlines how emergencies and immediate-harm situations should be handled. The policy also commits to inclusive practice and protection from discrimination.
Parent Experience

History

Malvern College was founded in 1865 when the town was prominent as a spa. It opened with 24 boys, six masters and two houses named Mr McDowall's (No.1) and Mr Drew's (No.2). In the 1890s pupil numbers nearly doubled and four additional Houses were added; a separate Chapel was built, which would later record the names of over 600 Old Malvernians and Hillstonians who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. During World War II the Admiralty requisitioned the premises; the College was temporarily housed at Blenheim Palace and later Harrow School, and the TRE radar development occurred on Malvern land. Post-war the College expanded with new facilities including a Design & Technology building; in 1963 it was the first independent school to have a language laboratory; in 1992 it became co-educational; Carson Centre opened in 2007 and The Downs Malvern amalgamated with the College in 2008 to form The Downs Malvern. In the 21st century a Science Centre opened in 2015, a water-based hockey pitch was built in 2016, the Rogers Theatre was redeveloped in 2018, All-Steinway pianos were introduced in 2019, and 2025 marked the 160th anniversary of the College's opening.

Community

The House system divides pupils into eleven Houses, creating a sense of belonging whether boarding or day. The College emphasizes strong partnerships with parents to enhance pastoral care and maintains open communication. Pupil voice is supported by a Pupil Thrive wellbeing group, pupil councils, peer mentoring, minority action groups and regular pastoral questionnaires, with Houses led by pupil leaders. The Malvernian Society provides an alumni community and, with the Parent Hub, connects families to College life.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The school has a Parent Forum that meets regularly for parental engagement, and each House has a parent representative who can raise issues and feedback to the College. The Parents' Pastoral Guide provides points of contact for parents and guardians. The Parent Hub offers resources for families, including links to the Malvernian Society and access to parent information. The Malvernian Society is the alumni association and philanthropy vehicle, which has begun to engage with parents as soon as their child enters the school. The College also runs parent-focused webinars and events to support families.
