Headmaster's Welcome



Thank you very much for visiting our website.

The Downs, Malvern is a busy, vibrant and successful co-educational
preparatory school for boarding and day children aged between 3 and
13 years and here we offer, what we consider to be, an outstanding education.

The school is situated on the Herefordshire side of the Malvern Hills
on a striking rural 55-acre campus in Colwall. There has recently been
significant investment in enhanced facilities; the boarding house has
been refurbished and a new sports hall, AstroTurf hockey pitch, tennis
and netball courts have been added to what has to be one of the most
idyllic prep school locations in the UK. Much emphasis is placed on the
outdoor curriculum, enabling young pupils to make the most of the
wonderful country campus.

The Downs offers comfortable, flexible, family-style boarding, providing
a real ‘home from home’ experience and also runs a helpful transport
network for local day children.

High standards in all areas are maintained at The Downs. Pupils are
supported and encouraged so that they are able to do their best
in all they undertake, from the classroom to the games pitches and
throughout the wide range of activities offered. The school is committed
to producing HAPPY, well-rounded children who will be able to move
onto the next stage in their school life sure of their own abilities and
with confidence.

If you would like any more information about the school or would like
to arrange to come and see the children in action please contact the
Registrar, Mrs Cox, on 01684 544 108 or by email to

registrar@thedowns.malcol.org.

We look forward to showing you around our school,

Alastair S Cook
