Cheltenham College offers a 10% sibling discount on the net fee (after any other discounts) for the third child (and then subsequent children) coming through the school from the same family. In order to qualify for this discount, three children must be in the school at the same time or older siblings must have attended Prep or College for five years or more. Sibling discount will be applied to the fee in the term where the eligibility is identified, either by parents or the fees team. It will not be applied retrospectively.
Fraud Vigilance – Cyber Crime and Phishing
Please be aware that schools and parents are frequently targeted by cyber criminals and phishing attacks. We urge parents to remain vigilant when receiving any communications claiming to be from Cheltenham College, especially those involving bank account details, requests for personal information, or offers of discounts or refunds.
College has no plans to change our banking arrangements. If you receive any communication indicating otherwise, or providing unfamiliar bank account details, this should be treated as suspicious. Additionally, please note that the College will never email random discount offers. We operate a formal Fees in Advance (FIA) scheme only. If you are ever in doubt about the legitimacy of a communication, do not reply to the email. Instead, please contact College directly using the phone number listed on our official website and ask to be put through to the Fees Team, who can verify whether the request is genuine. College cannot accept any responsibility for payment to incorrect bank details.
