About

Why CLC? Cheltenham Ladies' College has been at the forefront of girls' education for 170 years. Our heritage and global reputation were founded on our pioneering approach to girls' education and our future aims are no less ambitious.

Our GCSE, A Level and IB results are consistently excellent, leading to College frequently being named the top boarding school in the country for IB results. Over the last five years, College has consistently won awards for academic excellence, including South West Independent Secondary School of the Decade (The Sunday Times).

College is passionate about the futures of our pupils. While their academic achievements are important, these must go hand-in-hand with co-curricular activities that inspire and challenge them, a community that supports them, and opportunities to pursue their passions and learn from their mistakes.

By nurturing well-rounded and self-confident girls, we help them to develop the skills they need to manage the choices and opportunities ahead of them, leaving College as empowered young women. What I enjoy most is our sense of community – you can hear the raucous laughter and lively debates from the bustling dining and common rooms! - Fatma, SFC2 (Year 13)
