The Arts

From canvases to curtain calls; blueprints to basslines; inspiration and self-expression fill every corridor at The Downs Malvern.

Arts and Extra-curricular activities are crucial to the philosophy of The Downs Malvern, and every child is afforded the opportunity to develop beyond their academic achievements into well-rounded individuals as well as express their natural talents.

Creative Arts occupy a central place in the school calendar, with art and music activities such as concerts, plays and exhibitions supplementing formal teaching. Pupils are encouraged to learn to play instruments and speech and drama lessons are offered – LAMDA examinations.

Trips to museums, art galleries and theatres and visits by professional musicians provide further stimulus and inspiration.

"Pupils show a very well-developed sense for the broader aspects of life and frequently reflect on the beauty of the world around them. Outstanding artwork abounds across the school."
