It was originally an all boys school, but is now Coeducational , having absorbed many buildings of the once adjacent Ellerslie girls school. It is not to be confused with Malvern Girls' College , which is a separate school. Its junior school is called Hillstone, which again was a separate boys Preparatory School until the early 1990s. HISTORY The founding of Malvern College came about as a result of the development of Malvern itself. As Malvern rose to prominence as a result of its developing tourism and health attractions (its hills, spa and developed transport infrastructure), the college was founded by a group of local businessmen. Opening in January 1865 , it originally hosted not more than 24 boys, who were taught by six masters. From this initially small base, Malvern College grew to accommodate 290 boys by 1877 . During the Second World War the college's premises were occupied by the Telecommunications And Radar Establishment . Potentially, it was also the site that Parliament would have moved to if London had ever been invaded by the Germans. At the beginning of the 1990s , Malvern was one of the first schools in Britain to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in the Sixth Form. It is a school with excellent academic performance. NOTABLE ALUMNI
