Rupert says …
“Working with CTK students and staff has been an inspiration for me and is one of the best things I have done. CTK is a true London institution; helping young Londoners realise their full potential. A specialist in sixth form education for the communities we serve and a specialist equally in aspirational academic education and in aspirational vocational education. I never fail to be impressed by our brilliant students”.
