MALVERN HIGHLIGHTS
MALVERN COLLEGE
Outdoor Pursuits
Sport
Cricket is important at Malvern, so to feature in The Cricketer’s Magazine top 100 cricketing schools was a welcome accolade.
We have seen great results from our Equestrian Team. One of our Fencers has represented England in a U14 tournament in Finland. Our Netball and Hockey Teams have played exceptionally well in a number of competitions and our Rugby squads have seen players selected for local Teams including Worcester Warriors and Gloucester U15’s.
Mountain Biking over the Malvern Hills
The winter season of mountain biking has ended and the intrepid braved the undulating and at times challenging terrain through blizzards, whipping rain, winds and in the dark and loved every moment of it. In the spring and early summer the OP Team enjoy the incredible flora and fauna to be found on the Malverns.

Wheeler-Bennett Society
This is Malvern’s senior pupils’ academic society led by the Sixth Form and overseen by the Chaplain, the Rev’d David Ibbotson.
The society seeks to promote the stimulation and exchange of ideas, and at each meeting two members of the society present a paper followed by a discussion on the issues raised. Recent papers have been:
‘Markets without limits; why prostitution is not immoral’, by Francesco Coppola
‘Genetic disorders and ethical implications of diagnosis’,
by Helena Huang Zhu
‘A fraud upon the poor?’ A comparison between Victorian and modern welfare systems, by Aodren Clemit
‘What would a city designed by women look like?’, by Annabelle Moody
Helena Huang Zhu and Francesco Coppola
