Cheltenham College is a leading co-educational independent school for pupils aged 3 to 18, situated in the heart of Regency Cheltenham Spa. Founded in 1841 and set within 90 acres of picturesque grounds, it was the first of the great Victorian public schools.
Whilst steeped in history, the school maintains a forward-thinking and modern approach to education. There is a strong sense of pride in helping pupils achieve, going beyond parent expectations, and above pupil expectations of themselves. Pupils at Cheltenham College are stretched, challenged, and inspired to aim high in every aspect of their development.
Pupils do this through practicing the Cheltenham 5Cs: Curiosity, Character, Community, Creativity and Continuous Excellence. Beyond the classroom, Cheltenham College offers an exceptional co-curricular programme. Cheltenham College benefits from expert coaching and first-class sporting facilities.
The arts are also central to school life, with pupils engaging in cultural activities both locally and in cities such as Oxford and London. At the heart of College life is its House system: 12 Houses in total, with nine Boarding and two Day Houses all situated around the campus at College, and one Boarding House at The Prep.
