Dean Close School

Dean Close School is a fee-charging co-educational English private boarding and day school (for pupils aged 3–18) located in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. The school opened in 1886 as the 79th public school in the Victorian period, and is divided into pre-prep, preparatory and senior schools located on separate but adjacent sites outside Cheltenham town centre, occupying the largest single private area of land within the town, at some 50 acres. Established in 1886 as an all-boys school, the school became co-educational in 1970. It takes day pupils, as well as boarders. Children as young as three join the pre-preparatory school, and the senior school teaches up to the age of eighteen. The headmaster of Dean Close School, Bradley Salisbury, is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference. The headmaster of the Preparatory School, Paddy Moss, is a member of the IAPS and the Choir Schools' Association. Since 2015, the school has been led by a foundation, the Dean Close Foundation, incorporating a number of private schools including Dean Close School, its Preparatory and pre-Preparatory Schools, Dean Close Kingham Hill School, Dean Close St John's, Dean Close Airthrie School, and a series of nurseries branded 'Dean Close Little Trees'. The first Warden was Jonathan Lancashire, holding the role concurrently with his role in the Senior School. He was replaced by
