Visit Marlborough College

We understand that seeing our school is an important part of knowing whether Marlborough College is the right school for you and your child. Parents and prospective pupils are welcome to visit the school up to five years prior to entry. To determine your child’s correct year of entry and corresponding closing date for registration, please click here.

We offer both Open Days and House Visit Days as a good way to get a sense of the community and culture that Marlborough College offers.

Open Days

Our larger Open Day events take place during the Summer Term for prospective pupils in Year 4 and 5, and in the Michaelmas Term for those closer to the application deadlines who are in Year 6 and 7.

The Open Day includes a welcome and introduction by the Master and Director of Admissions, followed by a pupil-led campus tour, a boarding house visit, and the opportunity to meet the Master, Director of Admissions, the senior management team and Heads of Department during a buffet lunch.

This event offers an optional small group tour of the campus in the morning with a senior member of staff, followed by the opportunity to view two boarding houses and meet current pupils, Housemasters, Housemistresses and the Director of Admissions.

Families are then given a pupil-guided tour of the campus, followed by a visit to a boarding house.
