A Memorable Royal Occasion for Prep Pupils

Prep Pupils Celebrate a Historic Royal Visit

On Monday 14 September, The Prep pupils were delighted to play their part in a truly memorable day as HRH The Princess Royal visited Cheltenham College to present new Colours to the Combined Cadet Force.

Pupils lined the drive, proudly waving their flags and giving Her Royal Highness a warm Cheltenham welcome and farewell. A particularly special moment came when two Year 3 pupils, Aurelia and Barnaby, presented The Princess Royal with a Cheltonian scarf and a bouquet of flowers on behalf of the Prep School.

It was a wonderful occasion for our pupils to witness a piece of College history and to be involved in such a significant event. The excitement and enthusiasm shown throughout the day made it a memorable experience for everyone involved.

A group of schoolchildren in uniforms wave small UK flags outdoors, smiling and excited. Some are singing or shouting. Trees and a building are visible in the background.
A man in a suit stands behind two children in school uniforms. The girl holds a large bouquet of pink flowers, and they all smile, posing in front of a stone monument in a park—a memorable royal occasion for prep pupils.
