Marlborough College provides an exceptional, contemporary full-boarding education set in a beautiful environment steeped in history. Ambition and scholarship are highly valued, creativity is celebrated, diversity is embraced and each pupil is encouraged to be the best they can be.

There is no “right” path through Marlborough College. Indeed, we celebrate and take pride in the fact that each child’s experience might be different. Pupils who thrive here take responsibility for their own journey, responding to the opportunities available to them.

Founded in 1843, Marlborough College is the UK’s largest co-educational full-boarding school. The College is academically ambitious, offering a progressive, challenging and enriching education both on and off the formal curriculum. Our co-curricular provision is second to none and all pupils become involved in a wide range of sporting and cultural activities. More than 80% of our pupils gain places at Russell Group Universities or Oxbridge, our sports teams regularly reach the latter stages of national competitions, our Symphony Orchestra plays in partnership with the Southbank Sinfonia and our artists exhibit in the Mount House Gallery.

Located in Wiltshire, the College benefits from a 286-acre site, stunning period buildings including a Gothic Revival chapel and the neo-classical Memorial Hall, as well as university-quality sporting facilities. The campus is centred around a 4000 year-old Neolithic Mound.
Marlborough College welcomes pupils from the UK and overseas. We have six girls’ houses, six boys’ houses and four mixed houses of 13-16 year old boys with mixed Sixth Forms of girls and boys. The pastoral care delivered through our 16 boarding houses is unrivalled, ensuring each child is known and cared for individually. Full boarding fosters independence and interdependence. Pupils form friendships for life and develop the social and leadership skills needed to flourish in adult life.
