What does it mean to be Fearless?

What does it mean to be Fearless?

The world needs more than just good grades.

It needs inquisitive minds, brave hearts and strong values.

At Cheltenham Ladies’ College, we are here to nurture fearless individuals, ready to take on the future with curiosity, courage and compassion.

That's why we empower whilst we educate. We develop mindsets alongside skillsets. We teach students to think, as well as learn. To question, not just answer. To succeed, whilst learning to fail. Working in communities, not just classrooms.

We help every student experience the joy of learning, find the confidence to step into the world and dare to make a difference.

Fearlessness is about not being afraid to make mistakes. It's about approaching every challenge with confidence, with courage, and with heart.

What does it mean to be Fearless?

How do we encourage our students to be more courageous?

How does this help prepare girls for the future?

We asked Eve Jardine-Young, Executive Principal, and Jemima Edney, Head of College, what fearlessness means to them. 

It's about standing by each other while we encounter the things that make us afraid, and work out how to overcome the hesitation and the self-doubt. This is a school where people are encouraged every day to take those chances.

Eve Jardine-Young, Executive Principal
