Cats College

Overview

With a student community comprising over 50 nationalities, students at CATS College enjoy living in an environment that encourages independence yet focuses on academic excellence. Students can choose from a range of academic pathways including A level, International Baccalaureate and Cambridge Pre-U selecting the programme that best suits their university aspirations and particular strengths.

Our student success rate is high. In 2011, 48% of A level grades achieved were A* or A at A level (UK national average is 27%). Students have achieved entry to every Times Top 10 university in previous years including Cambridge, Oxford, London School of Economics and Imperial College London.

College facilities reflect the significant investment at each CATS College which now include personalised learning centres, quiet study areas, cinema area (London) and refurbished accommodation of a high standard.

A range of sporting activities are available (driven by student demand) with cultural and community activities forming a strong part of College life. Our links with the University of Cambridge allow students to apply for membership to the world famous Union Debating Society and leadership skills can be developed through the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme and the Student Council.
