The name Cambray has been associated with College from the beginning. When CLC first opened in 1854, it was based in Cambray House, a #Georgian building in Cheltenham town centre. The number of pupils went from 82 to over 200, so 20 years later, College was moved to a new site.

Here is a great photo of the Princess Hall from the 1920s.
The room was filled to the rafters with no spare seat in sight!

Eliza Dunbar was a House Surgeon at Bristol Royal Hospital for Sick Children. She studied at CLC as a day pupil from August 1856 to June 1861.

College was delighted to open our doors on Saturday for #HeritageOpenDays 2024 🤩
Students dressed up as characters from the #MurderMostUnladylike series by alumnae Robin Stevens. CLC inspired Robin's "Deepdean School" and visitors toured many places which feature in the novels.

We're looking forward to welcoming students back to College next week for the start of the Autumn Term. We're wishing all new pupils an enjoyable start to CLC.
Here is a lovely photo of students arriving at College in 1914.

We should talk about our work as an investment in the future, rather than a cost. #ARA2024
Join ARAen for 'A creative start to climate change and recordkeeping'. We will create a collage in response to key questions of sustainability in the profession. A fun icebreaker to get thinking about the conference theme 'Climate and Crisis: Tackling It Together’. #ARA2024

Lovely to see how sporting attire has changed over the years! I came across one of these ties from the 1910s in the archives store. They were made from a stretchy material to make them less restrictive when exercising!🙃😂
It's #InternationalTennisDay!🎾
Tennis has been enjoyed at CLC for hundreds of years. It was first played in Boarding House gardens and Montpellier courts by older students in the 1880s.
Here are photos from 1916, 1950 and 2024.
