Great Malvern is a growing primary school that has a nurturing and forward-thinking philosophy. We are proud of our inclusive ethos and value all members of our school community. We aim to give all children an excellent start in life by ensuring they receive an outstanding education and have the opportunity to undertake a wide range of experiences.
As an early academy convertor, we are one of the founding schools in Mercian Education Trust, a small Trust comprising of five Worcestershire schools, over 6 sites and one Herefordshire school.
Our local community is mostly settled, and there are strong family connections with the school. It is not unusual for parents, grand-parents, and even great grandparents of pupils to have attended Great Malvern. A large majority of staff employed in school have either attended Great Malvern, had their own children in school, or live close by.
We are proud of the way our learners are prepared for the next phase of their education and beyond, promoting our ALIVE curriculum model which encourages Aspirational, Linked, Inclusive, Varied and Engaging learning, enhanced by a balanced and interesting enrichment programme of additional experiences and visits.
Great Malvern School has powerful global links with Martinshamba Primary Schools in Tanzania, and this makes a direct contribution to our creative and enriched curriculum.
