Admissions
A very warm welcome to Marlborough College’s Admissions Department.
Our role is to support you on your admissions journey and give you and your child a comprehensive insight into life at Marlborough.
Whether you would like to request a prospectus, arrange to visit, register your child, understand the process for assessment days, pre-testing and entrance examinations, or enquire about scholarships and bursaries, then the Admissions Department is your first port of call.
We want the admissions process to be an enjoyable and honest partnership, focused on achieving what is right for your child, and we work closely with current schools and prospective families to achieve this.
