Dyson Perrins CofE Academy, (formerly Dyson Perrins CofE Sports College, and previously, Dyson Perrins High School) is a co-educational secondary school with academy status in Malvern, Worcestershire, England. It is named after its benefactor Charles William Dyson Perrins, heir to the Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce company. The school was awarded Specialist Sports College status in 2008. It is located near Malvern Link, a northern suburb of the town of Malvern, Worcestershire.
The Learning Centre is a purpose built unit where the school provides specialist individual and group support by fully trained staff for students at any time in their school career. Among its many buildings and facilities, the school campus includes a dedicated Sixth Form private study and conference room, three Music Practice Rooms provide facilities for learning to play instruments, including a state-of-the-art drum booth, four IT rooms equipped with modern computers with LCD monitor technology, a sports hall and extensive sports fields.
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, a sum of £10,000.
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.
