Olivia – A Level Psychology, Sociology, English Literature “I achieved AAB and am going to London School of Economics to study Sociology. I would recommend CTK because it has a welcoming atmosphere, interesting lessons, friendly people and offers many opportunities to enrich your learning and overall experience of the college.” Freddy – A Level Maths, Further Maths, Psychology, Physics “I’m applying to study Computer Science at Cambridge University, and want to pursue a career in cybersecurity. I very much enjoy viewing the determination and passion of everyone here. Most of all, I enjoy the teaching quality because my teachers inspire me to be a curious thinker and to wander beyond the syllabus. My tutors direct and guide me to have more of a vision of my future, and teachers are extremely generous in offering time out of their day for any educational or emotional needs you may have.
