We are able to achieve this through our full boarding model which gives every Canfordian the chance to fulfil our vision for all to “explore, express and excel”. www.canford.com

Cheltenham Ladies’ College

Supportive community Cheltenham Ladies’ College is a private boarding and day school for girls aged 11-18. Consistently ranked as one of the top allgirls’ schools nationally, the school was established in 1853 to provide “a sound academic education for girls”. The school prides itself in its diversity, with staff and pupils from over 50 countries, encouraging pupils to “think globally” and value diversity. They say: “A CLC education is about the person you become while you gain your grades. It is, and will continue to be, full of joy, excitement and challenge.” Through boarding, Cheltenham Ladies’ College aim to: “enable each pupil to: grow into independent, confident young adults, capable of forming mature, fulfilling relationships with family and friends and becoming contributing members of society; ensure their wellbeing; fulfil their potential; find opportunities to develop leadership and take on responsibility.” A house system is in place to provide a community of support, especially key when new boarders join the school. Although primarily a full boarding school, there is flexibility at weekends for boarders to visit their families, this allows each family and pupil to find the balance that works best for them while at the school. www.cheltladiescollege.org
