About The Abbey
The site of The Abbey College was established as a seat of learning in 1874, lying on the lower slopes of the famous Malvern Hills in central England.
Our Location
The region contains some of England's loveliest countryside. The Abbey College itself is part of a government-recognised "area of outstanding natural beauty".
Malvern
The town of Malvern, with a population of around 40,000, is renowned as a centre for high-quality private education, and is statistically one of the safest towns in the whole of the U.K.
Students with us focus on living and learning away from the dangers and distractions of many big cities.
Our central location does however provide the opportunity to arrange supervised excursions to various cities around us on a regular basis. Older students are free to use convenient local transport in their free time.
The cathedral cities of Worcester, Hereford and Gloucester are within half an hour, with Cheltenham, Stratford, Birmingham, Bath and Oxford also close by. London is 2½ hours away by car or direct train.
Abbey College also frequently arranges social excursions to the local cinema, discos, ten-pin bowling and leisure centre.
Insurance
We strongly recommend insurance for students on all courses. You may choose your own insurance company. Our recommended insurance company is Endsleigh. Please click on the link below for details.
