Marling School, Grammar school in Stroud, England.
Marling School is a boys' grammar school located in Stroud within a Grade II listed building on Cainscross Road. The institution contains multiple academic departments and facilities for teaching and dining.
Samuel Marling, a cloth manufacturer and Liberal Member of Parliament, founded the school in 1887 by donating £10,000 for its establishment. It later absorbed endowments from two predecessor institutions, becoming Stroud's oldest secondary school.
The school carries the name of Samuel Marling, a cloth manufacturer whose family shaped Stroud's economy and society. Their legacy reflects the town's industrial heritage and philanthropic traditions.
The school functions as a boys' grammar school with a mixed-gender Sixth Form providing academic programs focused on university preparation. Visitors should plan ahead and arrange access during school hours when teaching is in session.
The school traces its origins to the Red Coat School founded in 1642, making it connected to some of the region's oldest educational roots. This deep heritage distinguishes it from younger institutions in the area.
