“I would recommend CTK to everyone. You have a chance to meet new people and be supported by amazing teachers.
The support I received from my teachers and the wider community really helped me to do well.
The Health and Social Care trip to Paris was one of the highlights and getting the right grades to be able to go off to university. I want to be a counsellor.”

Specialising early in a subject such as business, science, engineering, forensic science, IT, health, sport or creative media, can get you ahead of your peers when it comes to being offered a job, a Degree Apprenticeship, or joining a graduate employment scheme after university.
