About Great Malvern Primary School

Headteachers Welcome

Thank you for your interest in joining Great Malvern Primary School, part of the Mercian Educational Trust (MET).

Great Malvern Primary School is a growing and forward-thinking school with a strong nurturing and inclusive ethos. We are proud of our welcoming culture and our commitment to ensuring that every child is valued, supported, and able to thrive. Our aim is to provide all pupils with an excellent start in life through an outstanding education, enriched by a wide range of meaningful experiences.

As an early academy converter, we are one of the founding schools of the Mercian Educational Trust, a small and collaborative trust comprising five Worcestershire schools across multiple sites, along with one school in Herefordshire.

Our school serves a well-established local community with strong family ties across generations. It is not uncommon for current pupils to be the children, grandchildren, or even great-grandchildren of former pupils. Many members of staff also have long-standing connections to the school, having attended Great Malvern themselves, sent their own children here, or living within the local community.

We are proud of how we prepare our learners for the next stage of their education and beyond. Our ALIVE curriculum model promotes Aspirational, Linked, Inclusive, Varied, and Engaging learning, supported by a rich programme of enrichment opportunities, visits, and wider experiences that broaden pupils’ horizons.

Great Malvern Primary School also benefits from strong global links with Martinshamba Primary Schools in Tanzania, which play an important role in enriching our curriculum and promoting global awareness, cultural understanding, and creativity.

We look forward to your application

Yours faithfully, 
Mrs Janine Burton

Our Vision

At Great Malvern Primary School we champion social justice for our children. We are ambitious for all children to achieve by developing an appetite for learning, and the self-confidence and social skills to enable them to achieve success now and in the future. 
 
During their time at Great Malvern every child will engage in a breadth of experiences to enable them to grow and flourish in an environment in which they are enabled to be curious and ambitious.


We will achieve this through:

    Maintaining high expectations for every child.

    Ensuring high quality, inspirational and innovative teaching which positively impacts learning outcomes.

    Empowering pupils to lead their own learning, to become independent thinkers and to be able to articulate their ideas using the spoken and written word.

    Delivering creative, exciting and memorable experiences inside and outside the classroom through a curriculum designed to meet the needs of Great Malvern pupils.

    Creating a safe, inclusive and nurturing learning environment which encourages respect, empathy and equality


    We are Curious, Determined and Ambitious

    We are Curious.

    Children ask questions and challenge; they have a thirst for knowledge. 
     
    We are Determined.

    Children have sustained focus; they are engaged and purposeful, learning never stops. 

    We are Ambitious.

    Children have a strong desire, and the necessary skills, to achieve.


    Our crucial characteristics of Curious, Determined and Ambitious are central to everything we do at Great Malvern Primary School. Our curriculum is designed to provide opportunities to develop these characteristics in relation to children's learning, their attitudes to life and in their personal values.
