- Cheltenham Ladies’ College regularly welcomes guest speakers to inspire its girls. In the past these have included the former footballer Sir Geoff Hurst, the cultural critic Baroness Young of Hornsey, the civil rights activist Leila Hassan Howe, the war photographer Adam Dobby and the alumna and children’s author Robin Stevens.
- The school has pledged to be carbon net-zero by 2030 and is implementing sustainability initiatives and organising eco-friendly renovations.
- In addition to two sports halls there is a climbing wall, a 25m swimming pool, a multi-purpose activity studio, a dance studio, five squash courts and a 58-station gym. All pupils are encouraged to try extracurricular activities, whatever their ability. The programme is based around students’ preferences, with clubs running according to demand, many of them led by pupils.
- House parents and tutors are the first ports of call for pastoral and academic issues, but there are also school counsellors, specialist staff and pupils who are trained to help their peers.
- Merit-based academic, art, music, organ and sport scholarships are available, as well as means-tested bursaries that fully or partially fund boarding or day places.
