Headmaster’s Welcome

Discover a vibrant community fostering individual growth and a passion for learning. The Downs Malvern provides a unique and robust educational journey.

It is a privilege to be the Headmaster of The Downs Malvern.

I am continuously proud of the children’s achievements and, equally so, of the dedicated and caring staff who ensure that we provide our pupils with happy memories, long-lasting friendships and a truly outstanding all-round education.

Every child is a unique individual with gifts and talents that will enrich their lives and the wider community. Our focus at The Downs Malvern is to celebrate these natural abilities and empower pupils to develop them, whilst providing a broad and inspirational array of new experiences and opportunities to augment their talents.

We are tireless in our mission to instil a lifelong love of learning and a confident “can-do” attitude in our pupils, and we actively encourage the pursuit of new challenges; underpinned by curiosity and resilience. Our unique ‘Skills to Thrive’ programme has been carefully designed to immerse pupils in a holistic learning journey, as they develop seven interlinked skills which frame their education here and provide healthy preparation for life beyond the classroom and at our Senior School, Malvern College.

A ‘TDM’ education is characterised by a vibrant, inspiring and welcoming family atmosphere. We are a community. It’s a place to call home and a place to grow. The days spent here are undoubtedly some of the happiest of the children’s lives as they develop into confident and responsible young adults.

I would encourage you to visit us and to experience, first-hand, what makes The Downs Malvern such a unique and special place for children to learn.

I look forward to welcoming you to our school community.
