Student profile
"The teachers here are very good, and its a very informal environment. They help because they want to not because they are obliged to and the H.E. support for my UCAS application has made the process very smooth.”
- Aisha Manapova, achieved 41 points in International Baccalaureate
She is now studying Law at Queen Mary, University of London
"I've found that here at CATS College, I have time to focus on what I want to do in the future. My classes have only 7 or 8 people so the teacher is able to really concentrate on the students and help them individually. I have frequent testing in all my subjects which I find useful. After ever test, the tutor tell us how we did and what we have to do to improve. "
- Hai Van Nguyen achieved A*A*A*A at A Level
