Playing field, Cheltenham College, Cheltenham
The college is a private school founded in 1841. From its website:
'Cheltenham College is a great school in every sense. Founded in 1841, it grew quickly to become one of the largest boarding schools in the UK, with a distinctively Christian foundation and emphasis on scholarship and public service. Today there are approximately 450 full boarders and 150 day-pupils, both boys and girls, and it occupies the most beautiful of buildings close to the centre of the Regency town of Cheltenham.
Whilst proud of its history, the College is not at all pretentious. It has a tremendously positive ethos and is a place where pupils with all sorts of talents and interests are happy and flourish. Preparing pupils for public examinations is central to its purpose, but the pursuit of academic success is balanced by the provision of a rich vein of extra-curricular opportunities. Pupils take part in sport, music, art, drama, academic societies and a whole plethora of activities, all of which contribute to making them self-confident and well-rounded young people. '
