Values & Ethos
Our Vision
To transform lives by providing opportunities for all pupils to achieve their maximum potential in a happy, safe and inclusive environment.
Our Mission
The Malling School aims to be an aspirational school that develops the resilience, curiosity, confidence and creativity of our students, to enable them to become independent motivated and compassionate life-long learners. We aim to provide opportunities for our students to flourish in a diverse, competitive and ever-changing global setting. We will encourage our students to take responsibility for their own learning and take every opportunity to actively engage with the wider international community.

At The Malling School our teachers are passionate about their subjects and share that enthusiasm with their students. Whilst following the national curriculum we allow ourselves the freedom, occasionally, to step outside the rigours of the timetable and pursue learning and investigation for its own sake.

This means that they are stretched to aim for places at top universities, to become elite sportsmen and women or to pursue successful careers with major corporations. Our students enjoy real-world learning opportunities, learning for self- development, career potential and real jobs.
