MALVERN COLLEGE ASSISTED PLACES (MCAPS)

The aim of Malvern College Assisted Places is to offer assistance to parents of talented pupils who cannot otherwise afford to send their children to Malvern College Preparatory School.

MCAPs are open to pupils who are very talented academically, and also to pupils who, in addition to being academically bright, have a particular strength in art, drama, technology, music or physical education. Application for MCAPs may be made by external candidates and by eligible Malvern College Preparatory School pupils aged between 7 and 13.

Although examinations are held on a specific date each year, applications may be made at any time during the year. Parents of pupils entered for MCAPs will be means tested.

MCAPs are reviewed on an annual basis both academically and financially: academically via staff assessment and internal school examinations, and financially via family details.
