The staff here are absolutely amazing, the 1:1 support that every student receives is personalised and ensures that every single individual achieves their goals. The Mandarin teachers are extraordinary, and I feel incredibly grateful to have had the chance to learn and experience so much – the opportunity to learn this incredible language has been the highlight of my CCF journey so far.
Idrees, former Dollis Primary School pupil
Idrees is delighted with his results and is one step closer to securing a place at London School of Economics to read Law, but for now, he will be joining CCF Sixth Form in September to study Maths, Economics and Business Studies. Idrees praises the friendly and supportive staff who have made his school experience so enjoyable.
Academic success is a priority, but the school ensure that you make the most of all the opportunities on offer. One of my favourite trips was a visit to the prestigious University of Oxford and I have really enjoyed representing the school on the cricket and football teams. I also just wanted to add that I wouldn’t have been able to achieve a grade 9 in English without Mr Lee!
Sonia achieved a fantastic set of results after joining CCF in Year 10. She looks forward to starting her next chapter in September where she plans to study Maths, Economics and Business Studies. She hopes to continue her success and apply to university after her A Levels.
I can’t believe it! I wasn’t sure this was possible but would like to thank my brilliant teachers who really cared and supported me when I joined the school in Year 10 and didn’t have as much time to prepare for my exams. They ensured that I had everything I needed to achieve my goals.”
Theo, former Brookland Primary School pupil
Theo achieved an incredible set of results and looks forward to starting his journey at CCF Sixth Form where he plans to study English Literature, Maths, Politics and Physics.

The teachers are the school’s biggest asset – they are so supportive and encouraging. The opportunities on offer at CCF are also fantastic and the learning environment is friendly and positive. I will always be grateful for the unforgettable ski trip
Amir joined CCF in Year 8 and is part of an ambitious family of doctors. He is inspired by both of his parents to continue the family tradition in the future. He will be studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths at CCF Sixth Form and hopes to attend university to study Medicine.
The teachers are very experienced and knowledgeable. They make the working environment a very positive place to be and an easy place to work and learn in. I am looking forward to starting my A Levels at CCF in September!

Catrin was incredibly pleased with her results. Even though she is relocating to Wales and won’t be continuing her studies at CCF, she credits the exceptional experience she has had. Catrin will be studying Biology, Maths, History and hopes to apply for university after her A Levels.
The opportunities the school provide students with outside of the curriculum are fantastic – there is something unique for everyone to experience. The Mandarin Excellence Programme is a sensational concept that allowed us to visit Florida as part of a cultural exchange programme and it is one of my favourite memories from my time here. The school have ensured I am prepared for my next step!
