THE MALVERNIAN
Muddy Stilettos Highly Commended
Josh may be quite unique here at the College. He seems to be one of the very few, if not the only, leaver who has boarded all the way through his time with us. Joshua attended nursery at The Downs Malvern, starting at the age of four years and one month. His mother drove 40 minutes each day to drop him off, and he used to have breakfast with GiGi, the nursery teacher, in her house. The next year, he became a weekly boarder in reception. He has been a boarder ever since, spanning 14 years and four housemasters.
I think Josh epitomises much of what the College stands for. He is a fine example of what a Malvern College education provides. He is a remarkably well-rounded, polite, and engaging young man, whom I know will represent the House and the School well in the years to come.

Malvern Chess Club Championships
Friedrich Quigley won the Malvern Chess Club Championships and is seen here being presented with the prize, alongside Pierre and Ferdinand Lipinsky, who have also represented the club over the past year. We are grateful to John Knee, former Malvern College teacher of mathematics, and Brian Turner, chairman of the Chess Club, for the opportunity they have given these young players.

Two schools. Two Awards. Both The Downs Malvern and Malvern College are celebrating being awarded Highly Commended in the Muddy Stilettos Best Schools Awards 2024. Between us we’ve been recognised for Brilliant Boarding School and Best Experiential Learning.
Earlier this term we also received the good news we had won the AMCIS Communications IMPACT Award for our work on the inaugural Green Giving Day and that Saina Munjal (EH) had taken top prize at the BSA Supporting Excellence Awards 2024 where she won in the Khadija Saye Photography Award category for the inspirational photos from her Sapnon Ki Udaan series. Congratulations to Saina.
