Social Action at CLC

In this episode of the Cheltenham Ladies’ College Podcast, we explore Social Action at CLC, from our Community Links Programme to our charity partnerships. Social Action Mentor, Mrs Laura Isaac, is joined by students Anne, Cynthia and Ehije, who share their personal experiences of volunteering, community engagement, and the impact these projects have had on their time at CLC. We’re also delighted to welcome Lucy Bingham from St Hilda’s East, a charity with whom CLC has a long-standing partnership, and which is very close to our heart. Together, our guests reflect on the breadth of social action across College, the importance of meaningful community connection, and the ways in which pupils are empowered to make a positive difference in their communities and in society.

Co-Curricular at CLC

In this episode of the Cheltenham Ladies’ College Podcast, Co-Curricular Director, Mr James Pothecary, reflects on the breadth, purpose and impact of co-curricular life at CLC. Mr Pothecary shares how co-curricular and academic studies go hand in hand, as well as how the programme represents the mission and values of College - embodying excellence, independence and the empowerment and inspiration in the education of women. Central to the success of co-curricular life at CLC is its responsiveness to student voice and their interests, with more than 50 clubs each year being entirely student led. At CLC, we carefully support each student in finding the right fit for them - whether that involves high-level sport, advanced academic exploration or creative pursuits - all hobbies and passions are encouraged. Ultimately, Mr Pothecary believes co-curricular involvement instils confidence, resilience and independence - qualities that prepare students not only for university but for life beyond.
