Last week, UK International Trade Secretary Dr Liam Fox attended the signing of a landmark deal between Chinese officials and Malvern College.
The agreement with authorities in Chengdu, China means Malvern College International is now on course to open six overseas campuses in just seven years - becoming one of the fastest growing UK independent school brands operating abroad.
"This is extremely exciting for Malvern College International and puts us right at the forefront of UK providers opening schools internationally," said Headmaster Antony Clark. "We are delighted to have this opportunity to further expand the Malvern College family of schools through this exciting development in Chengdu.
"We are proud of our record in providing a British-style independent education with its emphasis on the holistic development of pupils and a focus on values, whilst working closely with our international partners to adapt the educational provision to the needs of the local context."
The brand new state-of-the-art campus is due to open in 2019 and will eventually, together with the College's existing campus in Chengdu, which opened in 2015, provide education for more than 1000 children between the ages of 3 and 18.
