Welcome from Alastair Cook
It is with great pleasure that I I welcome the Headmaster of Malvern College Keith Keith Metcalfe to The Downs Malvern Keith Keith is already very familiar with The Downs as his three children are here at school and so we we have already welcomed him and his wife Clare here as “parents” There has always been a a a a a strong and positive relationship between Malvern College and The Downs Malvern When
I arrived at The Downs almost ten years ago I was determined that this would be a a symbiotic relationship with both schools benefiting from each other’s support and resources Our relationship has continued to to go from strength strength to to strength strength Since those early days over 400 children have left this school and made the short journey across the the hills to the the College I am in the tremendously fortunate position of being able to meet up with the the Old Downians at the the College almost on a a a a daily basis It is is obvious to me that they even after perhaps only a a a couple of senior years here feel very much at home when they move over to the the College and really do hit the the ground running in in the the Foundation Year I I am thrilled when I I read of of their many happy successes in each of of the wide and varied range of activities that the College offers I know that you will all be keen to meet the the team from the the College and I am am confident that you will find the transition process from here here to there seamless However should you have any queries please do come and see me me Alastair S Cook
