Malvern Girls' College recognises that greater flexibility and choice is essential today to meet the differing needs of parents and girls. It is with this in mind that a number of new options for day girls are being offered. These include a shorter day (8.20 am-4 pm) and also entry at age 10 (Year 6).

Malvern Girls' College has often been considered mainly as a boarding school. In fact, more than 20 per cent of the students who attend are day girls. The many benefits of a boarding school are therefore available to all girls.

The new Day Girl option offers a standard school day beginning at 8.20 am and ending at 4 pm, with one evening per week (up to 8.30 pm). It is important for girls to be able to take part in the many activities on offer. Girls may stay for supper on that evening or leave once they have completed their commitments; they may take part in as many activities as they like, although there will be an additional charge.

The timetable for Day Boarders runs from 8.20 am and offers options up to 8.30 pm. This includes lessons until 4 pm with a wide range of activities up to 6.30 pm, at which time girls are welcome to stay for supper or go home. The extended school day means that girls gain the maximum benefit from the opportunities available and parents know that their daughters are safe in a structured learning environment.

Due to increased demand from local parents, an education at MGC will also be available to girls aged 10 (Year 6) from September 2006. Girls joining in Year 6 will have their own form teacher and benefit from specialised teachers in areas such as music, science and sport.

Daily transport is very important to busy parents and a number of minibuses cover routes from Stanford Bridge through Worcester, and from Hereford, Ross-on-Wye and Evesham. Also, of course, Great Malvern station is right next door to the College.

The opportunity for day girls to benefit from the extended educational environment of a boarding school is a great attraction. Malvern Girls' College is one of the top schools in the country and offers great value for money for day girls, with day fees only being raised by an annual cost of living increase until 2009. Fees are £3,300 per term for Day Girls (extra evenings £24) and £4,350 per term for Day Boarders.

Living and working together in a community is an important, integral part of the education at Malvern Girls' College. Girls learn tolerance, teamwork and concern for others as well as a sense of independence. The College lives citizenship rather than simply teaching it.

There are opportunities for girls to experience a 'taster day' at Malvern Girls' College - simply contact the Registrar.
