Pittville School is a vibrant, forward-looking and rapidly
improving Foundation school in Cheltenham. It is our belief
that every young person has gifts, talents and abilities and it
is our aim to recognise and unlock each child's potential and
therefore maximise their life chances. Our priority is to work
in partnership with parents and students to help them
achieve the very best possible success. We firmly believe that
each student should be challenged intellectually, creatively,
personally and socially in preparation for their future life.
We recognise that good relationships are at the heart of the
best education. To support high quality learning we ensure
the school is a well organised, happy, calm, respectful and
disciplined environment. We uphold the traditional values of
discipline, courtesy, good manners and respect. At Pittville
School high standards of behaviour and appearance are ex-
pected both in and out of the classroom. We do not tolerate
anything or anyone that prevents learning from taking place
or brings the school into disrepute.
“This is a good school” Ofsted 2015
“Pupils are encouraged to see their potential,
aim high and work hard” Ofsted 2015
“The behaviour of pupils is good”
Ofsted 2015
Pittville is a smaller than average school with approximately 600 students. We are a true comprehen-
sive school and celebrate our diversity. We are proud of our calm, friendly atmosphere. Because of our
size we are able to offer a level of personalised learning and pastoral support that is just not possible
in some larger schools.
Learning To Achieve
Joining Year 7
“They are well supported as they move from
primary to secondary school, then nurtured by
an effective tutor system.” Ofsted
Our Transition Manager will make visits to primary schools to help all new students in Year 6 settle
into the 'Big School.' Our induction evening, taster days and staggered September start will enable
the new Year 7s to find their way around school and feel confident about joining. A number of staff
and older students regularly work in the primary schools on community arts or sports projects.
Equally, there are many opportunities for younger students to visit us to participate in sporting, arts
events or design and technology days. This enables younger students to become familiar with
Pittville School to ensure that the move to secondary school is a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Care & Guidance
A form tutor looks after each student and is the first
point of contact for parents/carers. Tutors meet daily with
their tutor groups. All staff recognise the importance of
effective pastoral and academic care and guidance in
supporting young adults.
Our house system extends our pastoral support: it is a
focus for a range of exciting and challenging competitions
that involves all curriculum areas. Each house gives
students a strong sense of identity within our school
community. Students regularly meet in their house for
assemblies where the focus is on developing positive values and celebrating achievements. There are
three houses, Abbott, Aston and Livingstone. Each house has a head of house, an assistant head of
house and a pastoral support manager. Students are encouraged to take an active part in the life of
the school through the Pittville Parliament.
We expect all students to do well at Pittville and there is a reward system for academic achievement,
behaviour, good effort and attendance.

Pittville
A short walk to the north of the town, Pittville boasts a splendid
park, where the famous Grade I-listed Pump Room, a performance
and event venue and the grandest of the town’s many spa buildings,
overlooks sweeping lawns and ornamental lakes, tennis facilities
and children’s play areas. Pittville is also home to some of the
finest examples of Regency and Victorian housing in the town.

and al fresco dining are ideally located for the Everyman Theatre,
Town Hall and festivals in Imperial Gardens, and it is also the
location of Cheltenham’s regular farmers’ and crafts markets, and
annual Christmas Market.

A village in the heart of the town, Montpellier is a short step south
of the Promenade. Charming independent shops, boutiques,
beauty salons and galleries mingle with restaurants, cafés and
wine bars to create a cosmopolitan ambience, dominated by the
magnificent Rotunda and Montpellier Gardens, a delightful place
to sit and stroll and home to several of the town’s festivals.
The Suffolks
Popular for antiques, design studios and individual specialist shops,
all interspersed with a variety of cafés, restaurants and bars, The
Suffolks quarter has a unique artistic appeal, and is situated just
five minutes’ walk from the town centre.
Bath Road
The Bath Road is a busy, bustling quarter of the town with a strong
sense of community, and popular with Cheltenham residents and
visitors alike. A large array of independent retailers, specialist food
shops, hair salons, pubs, cafés and restaurants, make it an all-round
and much-loved local shopping area.
