Spear’s Review

Joy might not be the first word you associate with school, but it is on the agenda at Cheltenham Ladies’ College (CLC), where curiosity, creativity and confidence are highly valued. Academically excellent, CLC is also strong in sport and design. 

‘We unashamedly put the wellbeing of our girls on an equal footing with their academic achievements,’ says principal Eve Jardine-Young, and there are more than 160 co-curricular activities on offer to help pupils thrive.

Head teacher

Eve Jardine-Young has been principal at CLC since 2011. Raised in Malawi and originally trained as a structural engineer, she worked at Epsom College for 10 years and Blundell’s School for six years before joining CLC.
