The last year has seen an impressive number of transformative redevelopment projects completed, creating state-of-the-art facilities and spaces designed to enhance the educational experience of our pupils. From the new Sixth Form Centre to the refurbishment of the historic Grundy and a newly reimagined Reception and visitors’ area, the latest campus developments reflect the College's commitment to excellence in both tradition and innovation.
A Sixth Form Centre to inspire
The Memorial Library has been transformed into a purpose-built Sixth Form Centre, dedicated to Lower and Upper Sixth pupils.
This modern, flexible space provides distinct zones for independent study, collaborative group work, and social interaction. Inspired by leading university environments, the Centre bridges the gap between traditional school settings and contemporary workspaces, preparing our pupils for life beyond Malvern. Here, pupils are encouraged to develop essential skills such as collaboration, problem-solving, and creativity - competencies critical for their futures in higher education and beyond.
