The support system in place and standard of teaching at CCF is exceptional; our teachers are dedicated to working with us to make sure we achieve our very best. My favourite part of my journey at CCF so far has been the Art department and performing in the school production.

Ira attained a phenomenal set of results including 9999999987 and aspires to one day study Film at university and achieve a successful career as a film director. He attributes his success to the encouragement of his teachers, in addition to the wealth of experiences and additional resources on offer.

 

 

 

CCF provides an incredibly supportive environment which focuses not only on our academic credentials but also developing us personally too. There are plenty of opportunities and resources to access. I am so proud of what I have achieved and I am confident that I have already made memories to last a lifetime.

 

Hannah, former Garden Suburb Primary School pupil

She is delighted with her results and looks forward to joining CCF Sixth Form to study Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Further Maths.

 

 

One of the main reasons I love this school is that the teachers genuinely listen to what pupils have to say and care about you reaching your goals. They go above and beyond to ensure you get to where you want to be.

 

Willey, former Brookland Junior School pupil

Willey is thrilled with his results of 9888777775 and is looking forward to studying Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Physics when he returns to CCF Sixth Form in September. He hopes to one day attend a Russell Group university to study Physics. Willey looks forward to continuing studying his favourite subject, Physics, and mentioned how supportive the department is.  

 

 

Teachers take the time to get to know you as an individual and to personalise your learning so that it best suits you. Lessons are fun and engaging and the school has gone way above my expectations for what I thought secondary school could be, and I leave feeling confident in my achievements and proud to have done my best.

 

Rosie, former Chalgrove Primary School pupil

In September, Rosie will embark on her next chapter at CCF Sixth Form where she will study Art, History and Physics. She secured fantastic grades including 9998888665. Rosie praises all of her teachers who are experts in their subjects and the high-quality lessons and resources they have delivered over the years.

 

 

 

CCF truly is a unique school. Incredible teachers, opportunities you can’t miss out on and an open and supportive community. My teachers pushed me, challenging and nurturing me when I needed additional support. I can’t wait to repeat my success at Sixth Form.

 

Joseph, former Alma Primary School pupil

With ambitions of going to university in the future, Joseph is celebrating achieving 9888888776 grades. Joseph plans to study History, Politics and Physics at CCF Sixth Form and credits his teachers for their unrelenting support and guidance.

 

 

 

My advice to pupils beginning their GCSE journey – stay on top of your work, practise exam papers and talk to your teachers. They will always offer support and guidance and do their very best to help you figure out what pathway you want to take and how you can achieve it. CCF feels like a small school environment where every pupil matters.

 

Valentina

Congratulations to Valentina who achieved incredible results including 9998777666. CCF has helped her to achieve her desired grades and she now plans on joining CCF Sixth Form to study Psychology, English Literature, Maths and Economics. She praises the school’s extracurricular and enrichment opportunities which have enhanced her experience including trips abroad and others linked to learning, projects and workshops and Duke of Edinburgh to name a few.

 

 

I would strongly recommend the school as it is a close-knit family environment. The strong support network of staff and extra support sessions have been invaluable.
