CCSS is a unique and special place to learn. At a time when the best universities are looking for more than top grade passes, we firmly believe that the pathway to university lies not just in excellent teaching, but in close pastoral care, a broad education and personal guidance from dedicated and experienced teachers. CCSS does not select purely on academic merit. Our excellent examination results and value-added scores are due to top quality teaching in small classes, with additional private one-to-ones and exceptional pastoral care and support. Our full programme of support in preparing university applications includes individual weekly tutorials, practice interviews, visits to universities and additional careers guidance such as our annual careers convention where students can meet practitioners from a variety of fields.
