Malvern Girls' College
From Free net encyclopedia
Current revision
Malvern Girls' College was founded in 1893 by Lily Poulton and Isabella Greenslade. It is a leading independent school for girls in Great Malvern, Worcestershire, United Kingdom. The main school is housed in a building that used to be a hotel in the town's heyday as a spa and resort town during the Victorian era, while the boarding houses are spread in the surrounding neighbourhood. The names of the boarding houses are:
- Hatfield (for lower-middle school pupils)
- Benhams (for middle school pupils)
- The Mount (for middle school pupils)
- Greenslade (for sixth form pupils)
- Poulton (for sixth form pupils)
The headmistress is currently Mrs Philippa Leggate.
The school is not to be confused with Malvern College, which is a separate school. It is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate not by OFSTED.
Merger
In February 2006 it was announced that the school was to merge with nearby St. James's School.
There are currently 283 pupils in Malvern Girls' College.
