“I feel a huge attachment to Cheltenham Prep. It all adds up to a very special place, from the fantastic singing in Chapel to all the special celebration events the school is so good at putting on. It will be a very sad day indeed when we, as parents, as well as
our children, have to leave.”Current parent

Our EthosAt Cheltenham College Preparatory School (Cheltenham Prep), we provide an all-round, but clearly academic education that prepares children for the challenges of modern life . Fundamental to our ethos is:
• Excellence in the classroom: Stimulating and inspirational teaching and learning which challenges all pupils to go beyond their respective levels of current achievement .
• Breadth outside the classroom: Extra-curricular programmes which encourage participation, leadership, teamwork, good organisation and a variety of experiences which may sow the seeds of a lifelong interest .
• Nurture of, and genuine care for, individual pupils: Pastoral care which is sensitive, putting children’s welfare first and which works closely in partnership with parents to ensure happy, successful and confident children .
We welcome pupils with a range of abilities and through really good teaching and learning we will provide all pupils with the opportunity to fulfil their academic potential . Pupils are encouraged to aspire to be the ‘best they can be’ .
Cheltenham Prep is a special place . We will continue to provide a broad-ranging education which produces happy, well-rounded and confident individuals in preparation for a variety of senior schools .

BoardingCheltenham Prep owes its unique atmosphere, ethos and reputation to its status as a true boarding and day school which is open 24/7. A resident team of experienced boarding staff is led by Bob and Faye Wells . They, together with around 40 full time boarders and 30 regular flexi boarders, form a large, diverse and extremely happy family.
Mr and Mrs Wells believe in running the House as ‘reasonable parents’ and as such, older boarders are expected to help look after their younger boarding brothers and sisters . All boarders and boarding staff eat together at breakfast and for the evening meal, with a roast lunch every Sunday . Evenings are busy, with dedicated prep time, giving boarders the chance to feel fully at home within the school .
There is a comfortable routine for each child to follow every day, culminating in a bedtime story by torchlight – a highlight that many boarders remember years after moving on from Cheltenham Prep. Weekends allow more time to relax, with Sunday activities ranging from on-site swimming, climbing, skate-boarding and launching model boats on the lake, to whole House trips to Cheltenham Everyman Theatre and Drayton Manor Park . Boarders are encouraged to enjoy all activities in small family sized groups as well as to pursue their individual interests .
While we have a strong core of full time boarders, the Boarding House also provides flexible boarding opportunities for pupils who either need, or wish, to board on a less regular basis . This may be when parents are away with work, when sports fixtures and drama productions mean a late finish to the school day or simply when they wish to spend more time with friends in school .
Co-curricularWe have a wide range of clubs and societies as well as many different levels of sports teams, ensuring that there is an opportunity for the excellent to excel and the keen to participate and enjoy .
Sports that can usually be undertaken include: Athletics, Badminton, Cricket, Cross Country, Golf, Gymnastics, Hockey, Netball, Rounders, Rugby, Skiing, Soccer, Swimming, Polo and Tennis .
Hobbies, Clubs and Activities that can usually be undertaken include: Archery, Art, Craft & Pottery, Biathlon Club, Campcraft, Chess, Choirs, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Climbing, Cookery, Current Affairs, Dance, Debating, Drama, Fencing, Forest School, Gym, ICT, Karate, Music Groups, Orchestra, Philosophy, Polo, Scouts, Skiing, Swim Squad and Watersports .

Registration & Admissions ProcedureIntroductionPupils may join Cheltenham Prep in any year group from the age of three onwards . Entrance is usually in September, but entry at any point during the year is possible, subject to space availability .
Entry into Years 7 and 8 is selective and is based upon our assessment of a child’s ability to thrive within a 10 GCSE curriculum in Cheltenham College . Entry to younger years is also assessment based, but this is less formal, and focussed primarily on whether or not a child will thrive within our school environment .
Boarding places are available for all pupils from Year 3 upwards . The Boarding House, located in the main building of Cheltenham Prep, has separate self-contained accommodation for boys and girls . Pupils wishing to enter the school as boarders are welcome to have an overnight Boarding Taster sleep-over .
The Admissions Department is responsible for all aspects of the registration, entry and scholarships procedure and will be happy to assist with any additional questions you may have . You can contact us either by telephone: 01242 522 697, or if you prefer, by email: [email protected] (Registrar) and [email protected] (Admissions Assistant) . More information can also be found on the Admissions section of our website: www.cheltenhamcollege.org/prep-admissions .
Visiting us The Admissions process normally begins with a visit as this is by far the best way to see what we have to offer . You are welcome to come to one of our March or October Open Mornings, small group visits, or to book a personal visit on any weekday during term time . We can also arrange tours on Saturday mornings but these do get booked up well
in advance . A visit normally lasts around two hours and you will meet the Headmaster, Deputy Heads or another senior staff member who would be instrumental in your child’s education . You will also have a tour of the school and meet some of our current pupils . If you are interested in a boarding place, you will also have the opportunity to look around the Boarding House and meet either Mr or Mrs Wells, our Boarding Houseparents .
If you would like to book a visit, the Admissions Department would be happy to make the necessary arrangements, please call: 01242 522 697 . Registrations for Open Mornings can also be made through our website: www.cheltenhamcollege.org/prep-admissions .
RegistrationRegistration to place your child on the entry list for admission may be made at any time . To register your child, please complete the Registration Form (located at the back of this booklet) and return it, together with the non-refundable Registration Fee of £100 . The 11+ Application Form must also be completed and returned to us if your child will be joining Year 7 (Upper School) . Once accepted, this secures a provisional place on our entry lists and ensures that your child will be considered for a place at the school . Please note that in the event of places being oversubscribed, registration for a place does not automatically guarantee that a place will subsequently be available .
Taster DaysPrior to receiving a place offer, it is recommended that all pupils hoping to join Cheltenham Prep spend a Taster Day with us . These are offered on any school weekday in term-time and enable your child to experience a normal school day within his or her year group . Each visiting child is given a ‘buddy’ for the day who is in the same class, making sure that he or she feels at home from the outset . During the Taster Day, class teachers will
informally and unobtrusively assess your child to make sure that he or she would thrive within our community and to highlight any possible issues that might be identified .
Wherever possible, pupils will also meet the Headmaster so that he can get to know them personally . For prospective boarders or flexi boarders we also offer sleep-overs in our Boarding House following a Taster Day .
Entry into Kingfishers (Pre-Prep)Kingfishers, our Pre-Prep Department, encapsulates Nursery, Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 . Entry is operated on a first come, first served basis upon the receipt of a Registration Form and fee . It is essentially non-selective, subject only to the pupil completing a Taster Day or session with us, and to our staff feeling that we are able to meet the child’s needs academically and socially .
The aim of the Taster Day is:
• To assess your child’s development informally, ensuring we can offer the most appropriate care
• To ensure your child will be happy with us and fit in well with the other children
• To ensure that both you and your child feel comfortable with Kingfishers .
Entry at 11+Entry at 11+ is selective and normally subject to passing the ISEB 11+ Common Entrance examination papers. These papers, taken by pupils in the January of Year 6, are sat at Cheltenham Prep as part of the 11+ Entry Day . All pupils must be registered and have completed the 11+ Application Form, located at the back of this booklet, before attending this day .
Assessment Closing Date Assessment Date
11+ Entry Day Friday 28 November 2014
Monday 19 January 2015

The 11+ Entry Day consists of:
• Two English papers: the ISEB 11+ Common Entrance paper and our own additional paper
• One Maths paper: the ISEB 11+ Common Entrance paper
• One VRQ (Verbal Reasoning) paper: our own paper
• Informal group activities.
Pupils entering Year 7 from within Cheltenham Prep are also required to take and pass the 11+ assessments . Further details on the ISEB examination can be found at www.iseb.co.uk .
11+ overseas pupils, 11+ pupils applying to Cheltenham Prep after the ISEB 11+ Common Entrance examination, or pupils applying to join Year 8, sit our own entrance papers . These can be sat, subject to space availability, at any time by arrangement with the Admissions Department . For overseas pupils, entry is also subject to a satisfactory level of English and an English as an Additional Language (EAL) paper is sat in place of the normal English papers .
Pupils who pass these 11+ or 12+ assessments will be offered a place at Cheltenham Prep; this will usually also guarantee entry into Cheltenham College at 13+, although 13+ Common Entrance will still be sat for setting purposes .
In addition to the examination, we also recommend that pupils visit us for a Taster Day to get a feel for the school and our community .
The majority of our pupils move from Cheltenham Prep to Cheltenham College at 13+ . Pupils can, however, be prepared for any senior school, for example a grammar at 11+ or another independent school at 13+ . All schools have different entry criteria so parents are asked to inform us of their child’s preferred onward school, if not Cheltenham College, as soon as possible .
11+ Scholarships:
We offer a range of scholarships and awards at 11+ . For further details please see page 12 of this booklet .
Entry into all other YearsEntry into Years 3 - 6 is operated on a first come, first served basis, upon the receipt of a Registration Form and Fee. The next step is for the pupil to have a Taster Day with us, and to sit our age appropriate assessment papers . Following this a place offer will normally be made .
The assessment tests are relatively informal, and designed to ensure that all new pupils can access and enjoy our curriculum . For those pupils joining in Years 5 and 6, these tests will also be used for setting purposes . Should a pupil perform particularly poorly in these tests, this will be highlighted to the parents, and we may advise against entry .
All pupils joining us in these years will still sit the 11+ examinations in the Spring Term of Year 6. Pupils who pass these 11+ or 12+ assessments will normally be offered a place into Cheltenham College at 13+ .
Final Acceptance and ConditionsFinal Acceptance forms, together with a copy of our Terms and Conditions, are sent when a place is formally offered . The Final Acceptance Form must be completed and signed by both parents, then returned to the Admissions Department together with the relevant Final Acceptance Fee; £250 for pupils joining Kingfishers through to Year 6, £500 for pupils joining Year 7 (comprising of a £250 deposit and £250 Bursary Fund contribution) and £1,000 for pupils joining Year 8 (comprising of a £750 deposit and £250 Bursary Fund contribution) . The Bursary Fund enables Cheltenham Prep to broaden its entry and offer bursarial support to children whose families would otherwise be unable to afford our school fees .
Non-EU pupils are normally required to pay a full term’s fees as their Final Acceptance deposit . We reserve the right to require a banker’s reference and/or an additional deposit before a pupil, normally resident overseas, is admitted to Cheltenham Prep .
In all cases, the deposit provides financial security against the final fee invoice that is raised after a pupil has left and will be put towards final outstanding items where necessary . The deposit will be refunded at the time the pupil leaves, minus sums due to the school . Once paid, if the pupil does not enter Cheltenham Prep the Final Acceptance Fee will be forfeit .
Before a boy or girl is admitted to Cheltenham Prep, parents or guardians must sign their consent to our Terms and Conditions (attached to the Final Acceptance forms) . This includes consent to adhere to all current school policies . We reserve the right to revise all policies on an ongoing basis .
Visa requirements for International PupilsSome pupils may require a Tier 4 Student Visa in order to be able to study in the UK . While it is the responsibility of parents to determine whether or not their child needs such a Visa (and to apply for it), the Admissions Department will be happy to provide the required Certificate of Acceptance for Study (CAS) to enable you to do this once your place has been formally accepted . The CAS is issued, on request from either parents or agents, in the term prior to entry and can be used by parents when making any visa application .
Further details regarding visas and entry into the UK may be obtained from the United Kingdom Borders Agency (UKBA) website: www.gov.uk/visas-immigration .
As the rules are complex we do encourage you to read this thoroughly if you suspect that a visa might be required .

Charges for Learning Support and English as an Additional Language (EAL)Our aim is to ensure that every child at Cheltenham Prep can be the best that he or she can be, whether that be excelling in a scholarship discipline or overcoming mild learning difficulties to achieve academically . The Coach House, our Centre for Learning, plays a vital role both in assisting pupils for whom work is made more challenging by dyslexia, or other specific learning needs, and in offering support for academically gifted children to ensure they reach their full potential . Support is also given to pupils who have English as an Additional Language (EAL) .
The level of support provided is recommended by Coach House, in conjunction with assessments and discussions with parents . Lessons, delivered by qualified teachers, are offered on an individual, pair or small group basis .
There are four levels of Support and termly charges are as follows:
Level 1 £138 1 x weekly Coach House lesson (1:1, pair or group)
Level 2 £276 2 x weekly Coach House lesson (1:1, pair or group)
Level 3 £414 3 x weekly Coach House lesson (1:1, pair or group)
Level 4 £552 4 x weekly Coach House lesson (1:1, pair or group)
The maximum charge for a combination of both Learning Support and EAL will be £828 .
Some general in class support is available throughout school, however, should your child require 1:1 in class support, the charge for this is £9 .43 per hour . Further details relating to charges and the level likely to be appropriate for your child may be obtained from Mrs Gill Barrett, the Director of Learning . She can be contacted by email at: [email protected].
BursariesWe are committed to widening access by providing bursaries for pupils who, without such help, might otherwise not be able to attend this school . Cheltenham College has a significant number of pupils on bursary support, attending both our Prep School and College, who make very full and valued contributions to school life .
Unlike some schools, bursaries at Cheltenham College are not dependent upon performance or merit; they are available to any pupil who is able to meet our baseline entrance requirements, and whom we feel will strongly benefit from the education that we offer .
All bursaries are means tested . They are based on careful and sympathetic scrutiny of individual family circumstances and no rule of thumb generalisation of income levels is possible . A child must be registered before a bursary can be applied for and we strongly recommend early application as these funds are limited .
Applications received later than 1 March 2015 will be considered only at the Bursar’s discretion .
Further details can be obtained by downloading the ‘Bursaries – Widening Access’ document from the Cheltenham College Preparatory School website under the Admissions section . Families in need of financial support should make contact either with the Prep School Registrar or Director of Admissions . All financial information submitted by parents is treated in the strictest of confidence .
PoliciesThe following policies are available to download from our website: www.cheltenhamcollege.org/policies .
Admissions, Boarding Principles, Bursaries, Child protection, Complaints procedure, Data protection, Guardianship, ICT acceptable use and Safeguarding and child welfare .
More information can be obtained from Mrs Sue Hopkins, the Bursar’s PA on: [email protected] .

11+ Scholarships & AwardsAt Cheltenham Prep, excellence is encouraged across the breadth of school life, both academic and extra-curricular. One of the main vehicles for such encouragement is the offer of 11+ Scholarships and Exhibitions to those who show outstanding potential .
An 11+ Scholarship will normally be limited to a maximum of 20% of the fees, and an Exhibition to a maximum of 10% of the fees, although in very exceptional cases, an award of a higher value may be offered . Pupils are welcome to apply for more than one award, but may not receive more than 30% remission of fees, even when they hold Scholarships or Exhibitions in two or more categories. When applying for more than one award, the commitment that accompanies successful applications in terms of extra curricular workload should not be underestimated .
Any awards made at 11+ will normally continue throughout a child’s time at Cheltenham College, provided that the pupil continues to perform and contribute to school life in the appropriate field (this includes participating in the relevant 13+ Scholarship) . There are also opportunities to enhance or gain new awards if he or she moves on to College, subject to performance in the 13+ Scholarships, but this cannot be guaranteed .
In exceptional circumstances, further awards may be made above this level by means of a Bursary, calculated on the basis of financial need . Further details of Bursaries, and how to apply, can be found on the Cheltenham Prep website .
AcademicChildren who perform particularly well in the 11+ Common Entrance papers will be invited back to sit 11+ Academic
Scholarship exams, comprising Maths, English, Science and General Essay papers . These will be based on the KS2 National Curriculum and will involve more in-depth problem solving as well as an opportunity for pupils to demonstrate their independent thinking skills .
ArtCandidates should bring in a portfolio of recent work on the day. It would also be good to see an extra-curricular interest. Drawing skills should be clearly evident and sketchbooks would be useful . On the day of the assessment, each candidate will be expected to talk about his or her work, as well as taking part in a Still-Life exercise lasting about one hour.
Design TechnologyCandidates should bring examples of any three dimensional work which has recently been produced, together with any supporting drawings if possible . The assessment takes the form of a short practical task and an interview based on the material brought in .
MusicTwo prepared pieces will be required for the main instrument, along with appropriate scales . Sight reading and aural tests will also be given at the audition . The minimum standard of performance on the main instrument should be equivalent to Grade 3 of the Associated Board Examinations, or above. A second instrument and/or voice should also be offered and one prepared piece presented at the audition . This need not be of the same standard as the main instrument but must demonstrate a good degree of competence and ability . A music teacher’s report is also needed in support of any application for an award, particularly if lessons are taken outside school .
SportPupils should have represented their school in at least two different sports in their age group’s top team and, if possible, have also had Club experience. Merely having an interest in sport will by itself be insufficient, but general sporting potential will, of course, be recognised . There does need to be evidence of potential and a letter from your child’s present games’ coach should substantiate this .
