Malvern College is a coeducational English public school (private, fee-charging school for boarders and day pupils) in Malvern, Worcestershire, England, and is a member of the Rugby Group and of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. Founded in 1865, the college has remained on the same campus since its establishment, near the town centre of Great Malvern covering some 250 acres (101 ha) on the lower slopes of the Malvern Hills. Its presence in Malvern has only been interrupted by war; during World War II the campus was requisitioned by the government for military research and the college was relocated, firstly to Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire in 1939, and then in 1942 to Harrow School. At the 24 July 2025 inspection 640 pupils aged between 13 and 19 were enrolled at the school. It has a history of innovation in education practice; it became fully coeducational in 1992, expanded the pupil age range from 13–18 to 3–18, and adopted a mixed model of accommodating both boarders and day pupils. The college operates overseas campuses in China, Egypt, Hong Kong and Tokyo which opened in September 2023. The college celebrated its 160th anniversary in 2025. Among the alumni of the college are the Nobel laureates Francis William Aston, Frederick Sanger and James Meade; the novelist C. S. Lewis, two prime ministers of the British Commonwealth, Godfrey Huggins, 1st Viscount Malvern and Najib Razak; two holders of the Victoria Cross, Kenneth Muir and David Younger; the Olympic gold medalist Arnold Jackson, and other notable persons from various fields including military figures, businessmen, journalists, a Speaker of the House of Commons and a Chief Medical Officer for England.
