The Abbey College in Malvern, Worcestershire, England, is a small independent boarding school providing education mainly for students from countries outside the United Kingdom. It is located on a 70 acres (28 ha) campus on the flanks of the Malvern Hills between Great Malvern and Malvern Wells.[3][dead link] The school is co-educational , has around 100 students on its roll at any one time and specialises in pre university education providing courses at GCE A-Level, and AS Level and English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).
The owner of Abbey College was accused of staging a “land grab” after he bulldozed a neighbours garden in a boundary dispute.[4] The couple, who had lived next to the school without any problems since they moved in in 1988 with their two children, lodged an appeal claiming original plans showed the land belonged to them. When the couple temporarily withdrew their appeal for it to be re-worded after legal advice, Mr Kaveh sent in bulldozers. They said: “We received no notification and the first we knew of it was when the workmen turned up and said they were moving the boundary.
In January 2014 the owner of the school was ordered to pay nearly £50,000 for risking pupils' lives by having 'woefully inadequate' fire safety measures . Hekmat Kaveh, who runs The Abbey College, admitted 15 fire safety breaches. Worcester Crown Court heard that the school had 'defective smoke alarms and non-functional fire doors in student sleeping areas'. Judge Michael Cullum told Kaveh his fire risk assessment was 'woefully inadequate' and said the wealthy businessman had 'both a moral and legal responsibility' for the staff and children.[5]
