General
CCSS is a co-educational sixth-form college offering GCSE and A-level courses to 180 students, supported by 90 staff. The college provides close academic supervision, a friendly, informal atmosphere and high levels of pastoral care. One-to-one private tutorials are an important and unique part of all A level courses on top of group lessons. The small class sizes (averaging 5 students) allow plenty of opportunity for individual involvement and for developing each student's levels of understanding. A full and flexible GCSE curriculum is offered and at A level there are over 30 subjects to choose from, without restrictions on choice.

Our Values
All teaching and non-teaching staff at CCSS believe in our moral purpose: that through good teaching, pastoral guidance and close tutorial support, we can improve the life chances of ALL of the students in our care.

Examination Results
CCSS has had an enviable 97% pass-rate at A level over recent years from a non-selective intake. In August 2006, 81% of A level grades were A to C. All students graduating from CCSS go on to university in the UK or elsewhere, with many enjoying success at Cambridge, Oxford, LSE and other top universities in subjects ranging from international business to law and medicine.
