School Information

Founded in 1843, and situated in one of the most attractive market towns in the country, Marlborough College is a flourishing and fully coeducational, independent boarding school for pupils aged between thirteen and eighteen. It is a remarkable place in an evocative and unique setting, and it enjoys the advantages of being within easy reach of London and indeed many other parts of the country. The school promotes great breadth in learning and the small size of the classes ensures that each child is well cared for. In addition to A levels, the IB is offered in the VIth form. The extra-curricular provision is outstanding and all pupils become involved in a wide range of sporting and cultural activities. The quality of the education received outside the classroom is matched by the pastoral care given by the house system, which emphasizes the importance of conversation, compassion and comradeship.
