English is taught at all levels throughout the school. It is compulsory up to GCSE and a popular subject for pupils studying A levels and the IB in the Sixth Form. Experienced and diversely talented teachers aim to produce men and women capable of clear thought and understanding, clear writing and speaking and genuine appreciation of literature. This is achieved by way of systematic training in the use of words as ‘tools of thought’; analysis and judgement of poetry, prose and drama; critical awareness of the environment and the satisfying use of leisure time.
Sixth Form admissions at Malvern College are based on entrance tests and an interview with a member of the College’s academic staff. Applicants must pass the College’s standard entry criteria including an online CAT4 test and an English test (Oxford Placement Test) to qualify. If successful, conditional offers are made, requiring a minimum of six (I)GCSE passes. In addition, ‘7’ or above will be required for pupils studying Maths A level and ‘8’ or above for those wanting to study Further Maths A level or IB Higher Level Maths. While a grade of ‘7’ or above is advisable for A level or IB higher level Science subjects, it is not essential.
