THE renowned ‘high-society’ magazine Tatler has listed Malmesbury School as one of its top secondary schools in the country.

Tatler published their guide to “gold-star” state schools, in which Malmesbury School was listed alongside numerous well-respected secondary schools and grammars.

Malmesbury School Headteacher Tim Gilson said: “I haven’t seen the Tatler article but it is always nice to be included in a list of top schools.

“Parents in north Wiltshire are very fortunate to be able to choose from a wide range of excellent schools both primary and secondary.

“Malmesbury and the surrounding villages are of course great places to live and bring up children.

“We are very proud to be the comprehensive school serving this lovely part of the country and we will work hard to ensure that we continue to provide the best education we can for all of our students.”
