History

The Church of England, under the Director of Education at the Diocese of Worcester, Canon Rees-Jones, had a plan to build a secondary school in the North of Malvern. This was frustrated by the raising of the school leaving age. The increased pupil numbers required a larger school, which exceeded the amount allotted by the Diocese. Canon Bamber, of Holy Trinity Church, approached C W Dyson Perrins, who agreed to finance the actual building costs, [3] a sum of £10,000. [4]

He was present for the laying of the foundation stone in 1956, but had died before its opening. His wife, Frieda Dyson Perrins, continued her family association with the school, helping to build future extensions. [3]

The Church of England Dyson Perrins Secondary School, as it was named, was finally opened in 1959, at the time being the only secondary school in the county with a chapel incorporated into its design. [5] The first headmaster of the school was Mr Sydney Bormond. [3] The school was later renamed Dyson Perrins High School.

An inspection in January 2015 [6] by the Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted), found the school to be 'Good'. [1] Another inspection in 2018 found that the school continued to be Good. [7]

Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Worcestershire County Council, in August 2011 Dyson Perrins CofE Sports College converted to academy status and was renamed Dyson Perrins Church of England Academy.

Blocks

The school is split into four buildings or 'blocks' in which different subjects are taught. The first block (referred to as 'A block') is the oldest block in the school. This block is split into two parts: one containing technology classrooms, workshops and two dedicated computer suites, and the other containing a variety of rooms including the main hall, reception and learning support centre. This part of A Block also houses English, Food Technology, Textiles and Art classrooms. 'A block' also houses the Able Autism Base, a section of the school dedicated to supporting and including students with Asperger's Syndrome and High Functioning Autism, and one computer suite.

'B block' houses Mathematics, Science and History.

'C block' houses Performing Arts, Computing, Business, Music and Geography and has four dedicated computer suites.

'D block' holds the PE, RE, PSHE, and languages classrooms.

Malvern Hills Arts and Community College is a non-profit company set up in April 2021 to manage the bid to save the site of the former Malvern Hills College / Malvern School of Art from being sold to developers by its current owners who received the site for free as part of a merger in 2016. Known for a short while from 2009 to 2016 as South Worcestershire College, in August 2016 the college merged with Warwickshire College Group (WCG) and reverted to its historical name. The school was closed down in 2020 by WCG and a campaign, 'Save Malvern Hills College' was set up by arts students, staff, business leaders, councillors, community representatives and educators to try to save the important site and provision. The campaign gained the support of The Bransford Trust who pledged a large sum of money to the project and was followed by grants totaling £800,000.00 by local authorities. As yet no deal has been reached as WCG are keen to get a protective educational covenant overturned, against the community and local authority wishes, in order to maximise sale value. No date has been set for this court date yet.
