I have learnt that because of the nurturing and aspirational environment the school creates, I am able to achieve far more than I ever thought possible.

Piotr was thrilled to learn that he achieved an impressive set of results: 9988888877. He praises his teachers for helping him realise his ambitions and achieve his potential. Piotr was surprised at how much he enjoyed being engaged in the learning of his chosen subjects and looks forward to studying Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Computer Science at CCF Sixth Form. 

 

Support and guidance is tailored to each of us, and all the teachers have been a positive influence on my work because they genuinely love their subjects. The teaching and resources are such high quality that they make the school experience excellent.

 

Husayn, former Garden Suburb Primary School pupil

Husayn has achieved an exceptional set of GCSE results including 9999999877. He looks forward to studying at CCF Sixth Form and is aiming to attend university after his A Levels. Husayn’s favourite lesson was Mandarin with Ms Woo, and he was delighted to achieve an 8 in this subject.

 

 

Your teachers genuinely want to help you. They go above and beyond to help you reach your goals and ensure you stay on track. I would describe the school as engaging, friendly and comfortable. Anyone can thrive here!

 

Teni

Teni is proud to have achieved an outstanding set of results including 9988877776. She is now ready for Sixth Form, describing her journey so far as both rewarding and worthwhile. Teni is looking forward to working hard to achieve the best possible A Level results and hopes to apply to a top Russell Group university. 

 

Teachers push each pupil to work hard and aim for the best results they can. We don’t take this for granted as they make learning interesting and fun, which helps us to truly understand concepts and their application.

 

Sebastian, former Manorside Primary School pupil

Sebastian is delighted with his grades (999888664), relieved that all the hard work he put in has been worth it. He looks forward to starting his Sixth Form journey in September where he will be studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry.

 

 

I am staying at CCF Sixth Form because they have the most caring teachers. The class sizes are smaller and so you’re not just a number. I know I will do well in my A Levels because of the support and guidance I have received over the last five years. In the future, I want to go to Imperial College London to study Physics.

 

India, former Garden Suburb Primary School pupil

India is thrilled with her results and is very proud of her achievements. She reflects on how, despite having dyslexia, she has reached her goals through hard work and determination. She talks about how her teachers have supported her throughout her studies and knows this support will continue in the Sixth Form. India hopes to study Medicine in the future. 

 

I can’t wait to start CCF Sixth Form and experience a different style of learning while still being part of the same supportive and exciting environment that CCF offers.

 

Shayan

Shayan is very proud to have achieved 9999888877 in his GCSEs. He has big dreams of attending Imperial College London in the future to study Aerospace Engineering. He worked incredibly hard for these results and is excited to start at CCF Sixth Form in September to study Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Physics. 

 

Lessons were always interesting and engaging, which I didn’t think was possible at GCSE, but the teachers really love their subjects. You can be completely yourself and there will be a place for you at CCF. It really is a truly wonderful community to belong to.

 

Daud, former St Mary's CofE Primary School pupil

Daud worked incredibly hard for his brilliant results and achieved 8888888776. He credits his teachers for being kind, patient and genuinely wanting him to do the best he can. In the future, he wants to attend a good university to study Medicine.

 

 

I worked so hard for my results, especially in English, where I received a grade 4 in my mocks and then went on to achieve a grade 8. School is definitely challenging, but with the excellent support and guidance from teachers and peers, it has been so rewarding. I look forward to what comes next.

 

Ilyan, former Alpha Prep School pupil

Ilyan is celebrating his fantastic results, achieving 8888777764 grades and earning his place at CCF Sixth Form. He credits his History teacher who helped him go from a grade 4 to a grade 8 and speaks highly of how welcoming and supportive each and every teacher has been. Ilyan hopes to go to university after his studies and is planning a future career in banking.

 

I have had a very enriching experience so far and look forward to more independence at Sixth Form. The Sixth Form also offers lots of extra-curricular opportunities, which I look forward to participating in.
