Cheltenham Ladies' College (CLC) is a private boarding and day school for girls aged 11 or older in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. The school was established in 1853 to provide "a sound academic education for girls".[1] It is also a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.
The school badge depicts two martlets, inspiration for which was taken from the pigeons of the Cheltenham town coat of arms,[2] above three stars, which are in turn above a daisy, a school symbol.
In 2020, Cheltenham Ladies' College was named Southwest Independent School of the Decade by The Times and The Sunday Times. It is listed in The Schools Index as one of the world's 150 leading schools and one of the top 30 UK senior schools.[3]
