School profile

Pittville School

Pittville School is an 11-16 foundation school on the north edge of Cheltenham. We are a truly comprehensive school and proud to cater for the full range of academic ability. As a smaller than average school we really get to know our pupils and the strong relationships we build contribute to the friendly, supportive atmosphere around the school. We believe that all students, regardless of their ability or background, should be challenged and given the opportunities to achieve the best they can. We have really talented and dedicated teachers who are always willing to share their expertise and support others within the school and the wider teaching profession, but the best thing about our school is our amazing students and getting to share in their achievements.
