Boarding
from age 7 upwards

Join the Cade House Family

Cade House is home to over 40 full boarders at Cheltenham Prep School, aged 7 to 13 years old, with many more occasional and flexi boarders throughout the week. Cade House is situated in the main school building of Cheltenham Prep, making boarding at the heart of our school. Boarding at The Prep creates a culture of an extended boarding family, where each child feels safe, happy and valued. We aim to ensure that the children enjoy their boarding experience and develop friendships that last well beyond their years at Cheltenham Prep.

Meet the Houseparents

The Bell Family

Starting in September 2025, we are looking forward to welcoming Mr and Mrs Bell to Cade House as joint Houseparents. Both Mr and Mrs Bell have a shared dedication to nurturing young people, and are excited to immerse themselves in the Cheltenham Prep community.

Mrs Bell has experience as a teacher, including working at Cheltenham Prep some time ago, and is keen to return to our school. Mr Bell has experience in both education, as a boarding school tutor, and in professional sport. As a family, the Bells enjoy walks with their dog and movie nights at home.

Your Boarding Adventure

The school is chosen by parents for its ‘nurturing, family feel’ and ‘because it offers so many opportunities.
