Malvern College is a fee-charging coeducational boarding and day school in Malvern, Worcestershire, England.[3] It is a public school in the British sense of the term and is a member of the Rugby Group and of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. Since its foundation in 1865,[4][5] it has remained on the same grounds, which are located near the town centre of Great Malvern. The campus, now covering some 250 acres[3] (101 ha), is near the Malvern Hills.
Among the alumni of the college are at least two Commonwealth prime ministers, two Nobel laureates (five Nobel Prizes including prep school alumni), an Olympic gold medalist and many other notable persons from various fields. The novelist C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, was a pupil of the school.
There are currently about 650 pupils enrolled at the school, aged between 13 and 19.[2] Additionally, they are linked with a prep school, The Downs Malvern, Colwall, in Herefordshire which has about 175 pupils. The College also operates five overseas campuses in China, Egypt, Hong Kong and Tokyo which opened in September 2023.
