The college was founded in 1853 and serves as an independent boarding and day school.
The college website includes a number of innovative presentations of historical information.  The 
COLLEGE IN ONE HUNDRED OBJECTS was set up to celebrate our landmark 160th anniversary in 2014.  The projects brought together pupils, Guild members (alumnae) and staff in developing a shared tribute to Cheltenham Ladies' College distinctive values and atmosphere.
