Cheltenham Ladies’ College

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, and we continue our commitment to the development of intellectually curious, self-motivated and enthusiastic young women.

Our GCSE, A Level and IB results are consistently outstanding. In 2024, we celebrated excellent results, with 77.8% A*/A grades at A Level and an average of 40.5 points for the IB. Pupils secured places to study at world- leading universities across the UK, including Bath, Cambridge, Imperial, Oxford and Warwick, as well as Harvard, Columbia and UC Berkeley in the US.

By creating an educational environment that’s supportive, challenging, innovative and creative, CLC helps pupils achieve success both inside and outside the classroom. The curriculum is broad and varied to give students a rounded education beyond their core subjects, from Engineering, Enterprise & Technology to philosophical enquiry. Pupils are also encouraged to develop a balance of intellectual, sporting, creative and cultural interests. There are over 140 co-curricular activities available, from Jazz Band to Ethical Hacking, and Model UN to Rowing. Our global outlook encourages girls to play a part in the wider world, creating young women who value and serve the communities to which they belong.
