Course summary

t is about the factors shaping both the British and American systems. You will also be studying Political Philosophy which gives you a real breadth of understanding. It helps in the development of discussion and debating skills and encourages you to think beyond the constraints of a textbook. One main strength though, is that it will give you the knowledge and transferable skills to evaluate and understand some of the most important forces shaping the future of us all. Pupils will be required to take detailed notes from power points and textbooks, watch news programmes, analyse texts, discuss, do presentations, as well as writing responses from short paragraphs to longer essays.

Entry requirements

The admissions journey usually begins with a visit to School. We recommend you join us for an Open Event or arrange a Personal Visit. A visit to School gives you an excellent opportunity to experience the School environment and our ethos first-hand. You also have the opportunity to discuss your daughter’s education with our Head, Dr Gareth P Lloyd. Formal Registration is the next step of the Admissions process, the registration fee is payable at this stage. Registration provisionally reserves a place for your daughter at Malvern St James and allows her to sit our Entrance Examinations. We encourage girls to attend School for a taster day. A taster day gives your daughter the opportunity to experience a typical School day and meet her peers and teachers, and for assessments to take place. For those looking to Board, we can arrange a sleepover in one of our Boarding Houses. You can fill in and submit a Registration Form online to start the enrolment process. Please contact Admission for a hard copy of this document if preferred. Following completion of Registration, your daughter will be invited to sit our Entrance Exams. Entry to Malvern St James is based on the potential your daughter demonstrates in our assessments and a satisfactory confidential report, addressing both academic and pastoral matters from your daughter’s present school. Applicants are also interviewed by a senior member of staff, either in person or online.
