About the school
Situated in an enviable location on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills, The Downs Malvern Prep School provides children with a safe and supportive environment in which they are able to discover their passions and thrive.
Every child is a unique individual with gifts and talents that will enrich their lives and those of others. Our focus at The Downs is to spot those natural abilities, encourage, develop, and celebrate them. We aim to give each child a breadth of experience throughout their Prep School career and the opportunity to stretch themselves in all areas of school life.
We aim to foster a love of learning, a can-do attitude underpinned by curiosity, resilience, and an individual outlook that seeks to challenge and fufil.
The school is characterised by a warm, friendly, and happy family atmosphere. It’s a place to call home, it’s a place to grow.
Age range
0 months–13 years. Ask the school about entry points and the age range of its prep division.
