Proud to be Part of the Pride of Gloucestershire Trail.

We’re roaring with excitement at Dean Close Prep and Pre-Prep to be taking part in the Pride of Gloucestershire Trail in support of the Big Space Cancer Appeal. This fantastic initiative is giving our community the chance to help build a wonderful new cancer care centre—a place that will offer local patients and families the very best environment for treatment, healing, and recovery.

Guided by our school values of Love, Courage, and Contribution, we’re proud to be playing our part. Our amazing Art Department will be working with the creative stars in Year 2 and 3 as they bring our school lion to life—each child adding their own unique touch to make him truly one of a kind!

A representative from the charity will be attending the Prep School Charity Fair, where Lions at Large has been selected as our chosen cause. The Lion cub will also be proudly showcased during our Speech Days. Following this, he will join the rest of the Pride across Cheltenham this summer, helping to raise both awareness and essential funds for this inspiring initiative.

We can’t wait to share his journey with you—keep an eye out for updates, big roars, and lots of colour along the way!
