Fees

At Cheltenham Ladies' College, our mission is to support and guide our pupils in becoming self-determining, fulfilled and resilient women who value, serve and enrich their communities.

We are an independent school for girls aged 11 to 18, based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. We offer both boarding and day places for pupils.

Our fees include many costs associated with providing a thorough education at College, including teaching, essential educational materials and text books, and many curriculum trips. Fees also include the provision of pastoral care, Personal Accident Insurance, meals and snacks, and many other activities as part of the co-curricular and weekend programmes.
