 Malbank School & Sixth Form College has received a range of awards including: Investors in People, Investors in Careers, Sportsmark and the Healthy Schools award. It was first awarded the Inclusion Quality Mark in 2006.
The Inclusion Quality Mark is designed to create a dialogue about inclusion, with objective and supportive evaluation, and a model for further growth. It represents an excellent evaluative tool which dovetails with the new OFSTED framework and the SEF.
 A healthy school promotes physical and emotional health by providing accessible and relevant information and equipping pupils with the skills and attitudes to make informed decisions about their health. It understands the importance of investing in health to assist in raising levels of pupil achievement and improving standards. It also recognises the need to provide both a physical and social environment that is conducive to learning.
Malbank School & Sixth Form College are proud to annouce their approval by the National Healthy Schools Standard.
Artsmark is a national award scheme managed by Arts Council England that recognises schools with a high level of provision in the arts.
By gaining an Artsmark, a school shows its commitment to the wider development of young people and teachers and to raising the profile of the arts in the school and local community.
Specialist Schools and Academies Trust work with headteachers, teachers and students to encourage them to develop and share new and effective teaching and learning practice, and to improve schools to raise standards and levels of achievement. In practice, headteachers and teachers design, lead and deliver their work, and headteachers continue to develop what we do.
They encourage and promote networking and partnership between schools and the community. This helps to raise standards and levels of achievement, allowing each student to achieve their potential.
Malbank has gained the 'Investors in People' award. This is national recognition for promoting staff expertise and team work.
The Investors in People (IIP) Standard is a business improvement tool designed to advance an organisation's performance. It aims to match what people can do and are motivated to do with what the organisation needs them to do.
The Microsoft IT Academy program enables educational institutions such as Malbank to offer computer technology curricula enriched with real-world skills. The program collaborates with educational institutions to provide a holistic training program that supports education and certification on Microsoft technologies to enable the next generation of skilled workers in all industries, including information technology.
Sportsmark is Sport England's highly successful accreditation scheme for secondary schools. It is a developmental and auditing tool that rewards and recognises a school for its out of hours sports provision and a broad and balanced PE curriculum.
The Investor in Careers Award was developed by Cornwall and Devon Careers in 1994. It is a quality standard for the management of careers education and guidance (CEG) in schools and FE colleges and is now used in a number of areas across the country involving hundreds of schools and FE colleges as well as special schools and special FE colleges. The use of independent external assessors/panel helps give the award credence.
