Welcome to The Downs Malvern
A safe, secure and unspoiled environment where children can learn, play, develop and grow.
To us, the sign of a good school is knowing and understanding every child, recognising their strengths and weaknesses, celebrating their achievements and providing them with the resources to reach their full potential- at whatever stage they start here. The Downs private primary school is a friendly, eco-focused school located within 55 stunning acres of the glorious Malvern Hills.
Our status as an independent school means we're able to offer pupils small class sizes, lessons from subject experts, and a beautiful learning environment with top of the range facilities.
A Supportive School Community Where Pupils Flourish
Our strong academic programme, achieved with small classes, a balanced curriculum, and exceptional teachers, delivers results that stand alongside the best in the prep world. Each year, our pupils go on to excel at top schools all around the country – many with scholarships.
Many have also gone on to distinguish themselves in a host of different fields: world-renowned writers such as CS Lewis and WH Auden have taught at The Downs, and Nobel Laureates have studied here.
A Rich, Balanced Curriculum for Every Child
To provide a rounded, enriching education, our school community also nurtures those whose talents lie in other directions, including music, drama, art and sport. Our arts and sporting facilities are exceptional and offer every child the chance to express themselves and to shine.
