The Malvern College , a British, coeducational , private Boarder College, was in 1865 in Great Malvern , Worcestershire , was founded. It was named the UK's 5th best co-educational independent college in 2007 by the Times .
history
The college opened in January 1865 with around 25 students and half a dozen teachers. Originally there were two houses, but as early as 1877 290 boys were accommodated in six boarding houses.
After the First World War, the number of students was increased and new buildings were built. During the Second World War it suffered more than any other comparable school, shrinking by almost 50%. To make way for the Naval Office during the war, Malvern College was moved to Blenheim Palace , where they stayed until 1946. After that, they returned to the original site.
Malvern College was a boys-only school until 1992, when they merged with the Ellerslie Girls' School and Hillstone Preparation School and expanded to include ages 13-18. In September 2008 the Downs Preparation School will also be added and will expand the preparation part. The classic college only runs the 8th grade up to the Abitur. The cost for a school year is around £ 30,000 for boarders and around £ 18,000 for day students.
Malvern College awards approximately 40 scholarships per year (for up to 50% off costs) in the fields of arts and music, as well as academic achievement and "all-round" talent. These scholarships can be obtained through extensive and sometimes difficult tests, which explains their high reputation within the school and also from outside.
At college, in addition to the GCSEs (roughly equivalent to the intermediate level), both the traditional A-Levels and the IB (International Baccalaureate Diploma) are offered as qualifications for general university entrance qualifications.
The school is also popular with German students who want to learn discipline in the "motherland of boarding school education".
The former students include the former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak , the author CS Lewis , the Nobel Prize winner James Edward Meade , the Nobel Prize winner Francis William Aston , the US agent James Jesus Angleton , the poet Lascelles Abercrombie , the businessman Ian MacLaurin, Baron MacLaurin of Knebworth and former Speaker of the House of Commons Bernard Weatherill .
