About This Course
The Malvern College Summer School takes place on Malvern College's historic campus in the idyllic Malvern Hills. Students aged 9 to 16 spend their summer here in a community that combines learning, adventure and friendship.
Activities: At MCSS your child takes control of their learning adventure. Each week, they choose two exciting modules: one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and each equates to fifteen hours of learning. English is optional
They can try something completely new each week or focus their attention on specific subjects and progress, guided by passionate Malvern College teachers and carefully selected specialists who bring expertise and energy to every lesson.
• Performing Arts: From the first cautious steps onto the stage to the big final performance. Participants work with professional theatre, dance and music coaches and develop self-confidence, expressiveness and team spirit.
• Outdoor Pursuits: Adventure in the Malvern Hills – with climbing, kayaking, mountain biking or hiking. The aim is to promote courage, cooperation and personal strength – always accompanied by experienced outdoor specialists.
• STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics): Exciting experiments and projects in robotics, space travel, mechanics, wind turbine construction or coding.
• Sports: including football, tennis, badminton, basketball, touch rugby or hockey.
• Creative Arts: Ceramics, woodwork, screen printing or nature photography - works of art are created here that promote creativity and self-confidence in equal measure.
• English as an Additional Language (EAL): Project-oriented English lessons for every language level – from beginner to advanced. Through interviews, group work or creative presentations, students learn to use language actively and confidently.
Trips and Excursions:Weekend trips take students to vibrant cities including Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff. The London trip offers the opportunity to see world-famous landmarks and explore one of the world’s greatest cities. Midweek evenings bring ice skating, laser tag, or bowling.
Pastoral Care: your child is well cared for every moment of their stay. From the instant they arrive to departure day, our team ensures they are safe, supported, and genuinely happy.
Life in the boarding houses is led by our experienced Houseparents, supported by tutors and staff who live alongside the students, and know exactly how to support, encourage, and reassure each and every child.
Accommodation: Your child will live in one of our charming traditional boarding houses, each buzzing with a strong sense of community and care. There is a range of comfortable single, twin, or cosy dormitory rooms, with inviting shared common rooms where students relax, build friendships, and feel truly at home

Testimonials
My daughter had the best time in Malvern College. She was so well cared for. The entire Malvern team looked after the children with such love and joy. Children from all over the world were there and beautiful friendships developed. The activities were so varied. There was something for every child. My daughter really enjoyed tennis and performing theatre. She would love to go back to Malvern right away and attend another camp.

Three children from my family took apart in Summer School this year. They had a great time there and gained not only improvements of English but also life-long skills there. The teachers are nice and helpful. We will come back again for sure.

OUr children (boy 10 y.o and girl 9 y.o.) had an absolutely fantastic time at Malvern College Summer School 2025. The program provided an ideal balance of academic enrichment. social engagement and personal growth. We noticed a significant boost in their confidence and communication skills, particularly in English. The diverse and welcoming environment also helped them form meaningful relationships with children from different cultures. The staff were professional, caring and highly attentive to the children's needs. The activities were well organised, engaging and tailored to different age groups, ensuring that each child felt included. The campus facilities were excellent and the emphasis on leadership and teamwork was a great addition. We would highly recommend Malvern College Summer School to other parents and would love for our childrent to return in 2026. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for such a positive and enriching experience.
