This time the visit was for 13-16 years old, and the task again was to synthesise and purify aspirin. The ability of such young pupils to rise to this challenge undaunted was amazing. The pupils all enjoyed the experience as did Dr Watson and Mrs Packham who accompanied the pupils. We are continuing our link with Warwick’s chemistry department and have our next lower school visit planned for Tuesday 29th March 2011. In the ....

The pupils enjoyed making solutions change colour, causing their reactions to become hot and cold, as well as making a rainbow in a test tube! They also watched some exciting chemical demonstrations including the ‘howling jelly baby’ which this year caused amusement by not only jumping out of the test tube, but then getting stuck in the neck of the tube! This was followed by a very bright redox flash as magnesium displaced silver in a ....

A totally absurd piece of theatre, part fairy tale, myth and legend, Pratchett’s novel unashamedly parodies Shakespeare\'s Macbeth. The cast and crew of over 60 Foundation Year students certainly provided a thoroughly entertaining evening for their audience. This production was a constant delight to watch due to being close in proximity to the actors, with Steve Doidge’s thrust ....

We are particularly pleased to announce that Stephanie Schöhl scored the perfect 45 (out of 45), a truly brilliant achievement. Cindy Cheng and Anna Wagner each achieved 44 points and no fewer than 16 candidates attained 40 points or more. Our average point score is 35.3. Well done to our IB cohort; it has been a splendid year of all-round achievement.

For most of the parents, she is remembered more recently for her stunning singing performance during the Commemoration Day speeches. Rebecca Stephens, the guest speaker at Commemoration, also included Lottie in her address as someone to admire as Lottie is following her dreams by applying to singing courses for her gap year. We have just heard the good news that Lottie has gone the first step towards achieving her dream of singing and acting ....

Flying Officer, James Weaver (Old Malvernian 1998 -2003) landed in a Squirrel helicopter at the Malvern College playing fields, en-route for Yeovil air base, on a routine navigational exercise. He was accompanied by fellow pilot Lieutenant Richard Knight and their instructor Mr Guy Gibbons. As the helicopter lifted up very neatly and headed off to Somerset ....
