Why CLC?

At Cheltenham Ladies’ College, we combine over 170 years of experience with a forward-looking approach to girls’ education. For those joining at 11+ as day pupils, College offers an ambitious, stimulating academic environment where girls develop a genuine love of learning, alongside dedicated pastoral care to help them thrive.

Day pupils are fully part of College life, benefiting from exceptional teaching, world-class facilities and more than 160 co-curricular clubs and activities. Whether exploring science and technology, performing on stage, competing in sport or discovering new passions, every pupil is encouraged to embrace everything College has to offer - and have fun along the way!

Supported by a day Housemistress who knows each and every one of her students, in a community that shares their curiosity and drive, your daughter will develop confidence, independence and skills that stay with her long beyond her time at College. This is a place where day pupils truly flourish.
