Because education here is about more than achievement.
It is about inquisitive minds, brave hearts and strong values. Exceptional teaching, breadth of opportunity and a supportive community encourages students to explore ideas, take intellectual risks and discover their strengths.
The result: confident young women ready for university, ready for the workplace and ready to shape the future.
Our Admissions team is on hand to make your application process as seamless as possible. Every year we have over 150 students join College, becoming part of a vibrant, diverse and fearless community of over 820 students.
For many of our new boarders, joining Cheltenham Ladies’ College will be the first time they have left home for any considerable period. Whether coming from the UK or overseas, our house system is structured to allow new boarders to settle in quickly, with older girls supporting and nurturing younger pupils in “House families”.
For many families, being a Day pupil offers the best of both worlds. Students are fully integrated into the College community - learning, building friendships and leading alongside boarders. Wraparound care before and after school, local bus routes and occasional boarding spaces give families flexibility, whilst ensuring that students benefit from every opportunity available to them.
