On Thursday evening CSPS was delighted to welcome Rachel Roberts, Archivist of Cheltenham Ladies College, to speak about former Casterton School headmistress Dorothea Beale.
Over 50 guests, pupils and staff began the evening in the school library where replica 19th century Casterton School uniforms were available to try on and an exhibition about the history of Casterton School was on display. The girls of Beale and Thornfield particularly enjoyed dressing up and were pleased to hear that the replica uniforms will be donated to the houses for use in dressing up.

Dorothea Beale kept in close contact with Casterton throughout her life and established a scholarship scheme for Casterton girls to attend Cheltenham Ladies College. She went on to found St Hilda’s College, Oxford and was a key member of a national committee formed to investigate education for girls.
