Two years may have flown by, but we are delighted to share that the Class of 2023 Bursary holder, Alfie, has made every moment count during his time here.

Alfie joined us through our partnership grammar stream with Swindon Academy and has excelled since arriving at the College. His Housemaster shared how proud he was to see Alfie receive his award on Prize Day – “a well-deserved recognition of an outstanding Sixth Form career.”

Alfie now holds offers from both the London School of Economics and University College London to study History, Politics, and Economics. His Housemaster also noted a recent shift in Alfie’s standing among his peers:  “The boys in House have grown to respect his unwavering sense of self and admire his work ethic and academic achievements. He’s beginning to emerge as a leader – someone others look to for inspiration. Alfie has always been strong in the classroom, but he has come such a long way as a young man. I am full of admiration.”

Bursaries at Marlborough transform the lives of motivated and talented young people like Alfie by providing the opportunity, environment, and support they need to thrive. Thank you for making this possible for him.

Your support plays a vital role in our Marlborough Difference Campaign for life-changing bursaries, which aims to fund 100 fully funded places at the College – representing 10% of our pupil body.  Thank you for the invaluable role you’ve played in this journey. You are truly at the forefront of what we are striving to achieve at Marlborough, setting an inspiring example for others in our community.
