We are delighted you are considering Cheltenham Prep and College for your child.
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Whether you are joining us at Nursery, starting Prep, moving into Year 9 or entering Sixth Form, we welcome applications at a range of entry points and are here to help you find the right path for your child.
Cheltenham Prep welcomes children aged 3-13, while Cheltenham College is home to pupils aged 13-18, with entry from Third Form (Year 9) through to Sixth Form (Year 12). Across both schools, we are proud to educate more than 1,100 pupils, offering a nurturing environment where every child is known, supported and encouraged to thrive.
We encourage all families to visit us and experience Cheltenham for themselves. Prospective pupils can enjoy taster days and overnight stays to experience daily life as part of our community.
At College, pupils can choose from 22 GCSE subjects and more than 30 Sixth Form qualifications, providing excellent preparation for university and beyond.
We also offer a range of scholarships, means-tested bursaries and financial support options, including discounts for families eligible for Military CEA and those serving with the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
Our diverse and welcoming community includes pupils from more than 30 nationalities around the world. Families joining Cheltenham College and Prep from overseas can find helpful information and guidance on our International Pupils page.
Whether you are just beginning your search or are ready to apply, our Admissions team is here to guide you through every stage of the process. We look forward to welcoming you!
