Welcome to Marlborough College


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 school in an evocative and unique setting. 

Our mission is to become the first choice of parents who are seeking for their children an excellent, modern education in a coeducational environment. This is a community where scholarship is cherished, creativity is celebrated, diversity is evidenced, and conversation - the means by which knowledge is elevated into wisdom - is paramount.
