In the Philosophy and Religious Studies department, we place increasing emphasis on thinking critically and developing a response to issues, as opposed to simply knowing a collection of facts about religion or practice. Pupils undertake research and make presentations, as well as debate issues and acquire the basic elements of how to assess arguments.
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.
