Saina, A Level 2022-2024
Being in Abbey College can easily be counted as one of the best times of my life. I believe the sense of community that is here can’t be found anywhere else. Surely, moving away from family at a young age can be hard. However, the emotional and welfare support provided by the College will create not only an extraordinary stay throughout the whole time but will also create opportunities for new experiences. I am now at the University of Gloucester studying Law.
Fady, Foundation Science 2023-2024
Abbey College is responsible for one of the most rewarding and pleasant experiences of my life. The moment you enter the College, everyone welcomes you with open arms. I’ve met people who felt like family, we’re all one little community. I took the Foundation Science course, all the teachers were so passionate and engaging. The staff were always ready to assist, both in class and during our free time. It’s safe to say that I’ve made some amazing memories here that I will carry for a long time. I’m now in the second year of a Biomedical Engineering Degree at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. The college has tremendously helped me build the fundamentals required for this course.
Anna, GCSE and A Level 2023-2026
While staying at Abbey College I have learned many important life lessons and developed as a person. The atmosphere is amazing for studying as it is located in the countryside and there aren’t many distractions, and you feel very welcome thanks to all the friendly and welcoming staff. I’m really enjoying studying here as I can get a lot of attention from the teachers due to the small class sizes, therefore I have excelled in my studies. Though you may struggle or feel homesick at times there are plenty of lovely students to support you as well.
Mohammad, Foundation Medicine, 2024-2025
Abbey College has truly been like a second home to me. From the moment I arrived, the support from the welfare team made settling in so much easier. Their constant care and understanding made a huge difference, especially during challenging times. They helped create a safe, supportive space where I could grow—not just academically, but also mentally and emotionally. The staff at Abbey are genuinely amazing. They’re always approachable, encouraging, and fully invested in helping students succeed. Studying the Foundation in Medicine here was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and it’s thanks to their support that I achieved my goal of getting into my dream university—Charles University in Prague—to study Dentistry. I don’t regret a single moment of my time here. Abbey College gave me the confidence, knowledge, and personal growth I needed—and I’ll always be grateful for that.

I am Amir Hashemi, a student of the A-Level course, studying Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. My time at this college has been both academically enriching and personally fulfiling. From the beginning, I have been impressed by the college’s spacious campus and its beautiful green landscapes, which create a peaceful and inspiring environment for learning. Over the past two years, the college has provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere that truly feels like home. Although I have faced several challenges particularly with my UCAS application and exam preparation, the dedication and support of my teachers have helped me overcome them with confidence. I am sincerely grateful to have been a part of this college community, and I will always carry forward the lessons, support, and values I have gained here.
Solomiia, A-level, 2022-2025
My time at Abbey College in Malvern has been a truly transformative journey. As a Year 13 student currently completing my A-levels, I’ve grown both academically and personally. Along the way, I’ve built meaningful friendships and always felt supported by the welcoming staff, especially the welfare team and our Principal. With their guidance and encouragement, I successfully applied to UK universities and now hold several offers to continue my studies in the UK. I’m truly grateful for the experiences and opportunities I’ve had at Abbey College.
Slava, A-level, 2022-2026
Moving far from home to a completely new place with people I had never met was a big challenge for me. However, the amazing student community and incredibly friendly, supportive staff at Abbey College made the transition smooth and enjoyable. Thanks to the excellent teachers, I had no difficulty adapting from studying in my native language to learning entirely in English, and I achieved great results in my IGCSEs. I’m now studying A-levels at Abbey College and planning to go to university to study Engineering.
Tala, A-level, 2025-2026
Joining Abbey College in January 2025 as a Year 12 student was a big step for me, especially knowing I’d missed a whole term. I was scared, nervous and so many other things but from the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness by both the teachers and the staff. They made sure I didn’t feel like I was behind at all, and quickly helped me settle in and catch up. What stood out the most was how much the college felt like a family. The students and staff alike are supportive, close knit, and always encouraging. In such a short time, Abbey has already become my new home and I’ll forever be grateful to be a part of it.
