Founded in 1853, on the site of the town’s original spa, Cheltenham Ladies’ College is one of Britain’s most prestigious independent girls’ schools. It’s housed in an eclectic Gothic-style building topped by a domed observatory. Former pupils include "op artist" Bridget Riley, designer Katharine Hamnett, and politician Amber Rudd.
