CLC’s nurturing boarding environment, allows girls from across the globe to bond, thrive and grow both academically and personally. The ethos builds on the values embedded in the 1850’s by the suffragette and pioneering Headmistress, Mrs. Dorothea Beale. Known for academic excellence, the school’s culture encourages the girls to believe nothing is beyond their reach, as evidenced by a strong track record of Oxbridge and Ivy League admissions. But CLC is about more than academic grades, with a strong focus on sports like rowing and equestrian activities and the creative and visual arts. These opportunities play a significant role in equipping pupils with essential life skills and preparing them for future success. It is no surprise that CLC is consistently ranked as one of the top all girls schools.
