Alnwick have won the house championship FIVE times in just seven years, since we introduced the house system at Marden!

Here at Marden, you will recognise those in Alnwick house by the YELLOW ties and YELLOW badges.

Alnwick Castle is the seat of the 12th Duke of Northumberland, built in the 11th Century following the Norman conquest and renovated and remodelled a number of times.

It is a Grade 1 listed building, now the home of Ralph Percy, 12th Duke of Northumberland and his family.

In 2016, the castle received over 600,000 visitors per year when combined with adjacent attraction the Alnwick Garden.

The River Aln flows past the north side of the Castle.

An increase in public interest in the castle was generated by its use as a stand-in for the exterior and interior of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films.
