Marlborough College Malaysia

Social and emotional learning is embedded across the curriculum and pastoral life of the College. Through dedicated Wellbeing lessons, PSHE, assemblies, and tutor time, pupils develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, empathy, positive relationships, and responsible decision-making. These life skills are essential to their success both in and beyond the classroom, and are delivered in a structured, age-appropriate way across all year groups.

We are able to support children with moderate learning needs, depending on their individual requirements. Support may include in-class assistance, small group sessions, or specialist input from our Speech and Language Therapist. Please note that additional Learning Enrichment lessons for pupils with specific learning or behavioural difficulties are provided at an extra cost and are not included in the school fees.

All prospective pupils are assessed for their level of English upon entry. Support is available through our EAL department, including the Accelerated English Programme (AEP), which offers tailored language instruction and in-class support to help pupils transition into the mainstream curriculum. 1:1 support is also available where needed. Please note that pupils must reach an appropriate level of English to access external examinations in Senior School and fully benefit from the curriculum. The AEP and EAL lessons are provided at an additional cost.

Alongside our Wellbeing curriculum, Marlborough College Malaysia is deeply committed to supporting the mental health of every pupil. We provide individualised pastoral care for those facing emotional challenges, including access to a qualified College Counsellor, trusted relationships with Form Tutors and House staff, and a safe, supportive environment where pupils feel heard. Staff receive ongoing training to help them recognise and respond to concerns, while peer support and wider mental health initiatives ensure that every member of our community knows where to turn when they need help.

We are committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where all pupils feel secure, valued, and respected. Our safeguarding policies and procedures are rigorous and regularly reviewed, and all staff receive ongoing training to ensure they understand their responsibilities. The College has designated safeguarding leads across each section of the school to oversee child protection and wellbeing matters.
