GCSE between £300 and £700 A Level between £240 and £500 IB between £640 and £950 4 Full Boarding at Malvern College – our Responsive Approach We are very proud of our traditional full boarding ethos at Malvern College; however, we recognize the need to be responsive in our approach and to support families with special requests for leaves of absence. Nights away from school should be the exception and not the norm. However, there may be occasions where there are valid reasons for parents requesting nights at home for boarding pupils. This may be for: • significant pastoral reasons • exceptional family commitments • significant co-curricular commitment In these circumstances, parents should email the HouseM at least one week prior to the event. This gives the HouseM time to consult with Senior Staff at the College and to ensure there are no clashes with school commitments which would normally take priority. Leaves of absence may be declined if pupils are behind with academic work or if they are not meeting other College commitments. We ask parents and families for their full support in helping the College maintain our full boarding ethos for the benefit of all pupils, and we strongly encourage all families to use leave outs, half terms and holidays for family commitments. In a typical year, approximately half of all weekends fall outside term-time (including leave outs and half terms) which gives a good balance of time in school and for time at home. In summary, we would like to ask for your support with the following requirements for leaves of absence from school for boarders: • Please email the HouseM with requests for leave of absence at least one week in advance. • Leaves of absence may be granted for significant pastoral reasons, exceptional family commitments or a significant co-curricular commitment. • Teenage parties are not allowed during term time. • Birthday dinner parties are allowed for Sixth Form. These should be appropriately supervised and Sixth Form Centre alcohol guidelines should be followed. Guests who are boarding pupils should return to school by 10.30pm. • School commitments take priority. A leave of absence may be declined if a pupil is behind with academic work or not meeting other College commitments, Saturday night detention will take priority. • Malvern College has a full boarding ethos and so leaves of absence should be the exception and not the norm. We hope that these guidelines will ensure fairness and transparency for all boarding pupils across all Houses and also strike the balance between supporting our traditional full boarding ethos whilst allowing responsiveness to individual and family circumstances. 5 Day Boarding at Malvern College – our Fully Integrated Model Our day boarding option will be introduced for pupils joining the Foundation Year in September 2021. The Day boarding option includes up to three specified nights of boarding per week. Each additional night boarding is charged at a reduced rate of £59 per night. Our day boarding pupils are fully integrated into the Houses and all pupils play a full and important part of life at the College, which helps create a thriving and inclusive community. Day boarding pupils and parents have access to an extended day where pupils can join the House from 7.30am and stay until 9.30pm and include three specified boarding nights. In summary, day boarding pupils should note the following guidelines: • Day boarding places are limited and allocated on a first come first served basis. • Parents must indicate the specified nights pupils will be boarding in advance of the start of each term. • There are no refunds for unused nights. • Nights in school may be changed with the agreement of the HouseM. • If a day boarder stays overnight at the College for more than 55 nights in any term (not including the first seven nights of the first term) they will be deemed a full boarder and will be charged the full boarding upgrade retrospectively. • Breakfast and supper are included on all days. • Day boarders can join the House from 7.30am. • Registration takes place in House at 8.10am. • Day boarders who are not boarding overnight can stay in the House until 9.30pm and complete Hall in House. • Full boarding pupils, and then day boarding pupils, are given priority choice over rooms and bed spaces over day pupils. • Day boarding pupils who are joining the school for the first time will be offered additional boarding nights, included within the fee, for their first seven nights at the start of the Autumn term. This helps with making friends and integration into their House community. • Day boarding pupils have access to laundry facilities on the nights they board. We hope our day boarding model supports pupils and families with balancing a school and home life by enabling the forward planning of nights away from home. 6 Day Pupils at Malvern College – our Extended Day Model Day pupils are very welcome at Malvern College and have access to many of the same benefits as our full boarders. Our day and boarding pupils are fully integrated into the Houses and day pupils play a full and important part of life at the College, which helps create a thriving and inclusive community. Day pupils and parents have access to an extended day where day pupils can join the House from 7.30am and stay until 9.30pm. From September 2020, for new pupils entering the College, our day fee includes a maximum of 15 nights boarding per academic year.

The Malvern College Family of Schools United Kingdom | Qingdao | Chengdu | Egypt | Hong Kong Dear Applicant, Thank you for showing interest in a teaching position at Malvern College Hong Kong. As the founding Headmaster of Malvern College Hong Kong I am incredibly proud to be associated with this exciting project. Currently in our first year of opening, our aim is to provide Hong Kong with a first-rate educational institution which combines very high academic standards with a genuine and passionate concern for educating the whole child. The values and ethos that underpin a Malvern education reflect this joint concern; to ensure not only that each young person’s academic potential is fulfilled, but also that, through an active and wide ranging co-curricular programme, each young person will have had ample opportunity to develop themselves personally. With this in mind, our aim is to transfer much of a boarding ethos, with an active House and tutor system, into a day school environment. A Malvern education prepares a young adult for life beyond school – so that they not only feel happy and fulfilled but are also able to cope with all the pressures and demands of living in a rapidly changing world. If you would like to involve yourself in this challenging but immensely fulfilling project and really enjoy throwing your- self into the life of a school that passionately cares for each of its pupils, we would love to hear from you. I hope having seen the accompanying information you decide to take the application forward, but if you need any fur- ther information before committing yourself to an application please do not hesitate to contact our HR department (hr@ malverncollege.org.hk) or indeed myself.
