GCSE Success stories 2024

Behind every set of GCSE results there is a personal story of hard work, commitment and perseverance. Thank you to those who shared their stories with us on results day...

Alexandra, former Garden Suburb Junior School pupil

Alexandra achieved an exceptional set of GCSE results and is looking forward to returning to CCF Sixth Form in September to continue her education. She will be studying Computer Science, Maths, History and Physics and hopes to one day attend a Russell Group university to attain a degree and achieve a masters in her chosen field.

The staff here are absolutely amazing, the 1:1 support that every student receives is personalised and ensures that every single individual achieves their goals. The Mandarin teachers are extraordinary, and I feel incredibly grateful to have had the chance to learn and experience so much – the opportunity to learn this incredible language has been the highlight of my CCF journey so far.

 Idrees, former Dollis Primary School pupil

Idrees is delighted with his results and is one step closer to securing a place at London School of Economics to read Law, but for now, he will be joining CCF Sixth Form in September to study Maths, Economics and Business Studies. Idrees praises the friendly and supportive staff who have made his school experience so enjoyable.

Academic success is a priority, but the school ensure that you make the most of all the opportunities on offer. One of my favourite trips was a visit to the prestigious University of Oxford and I have really enjoyed representing the school on the cricket and football teams. I also just wanted to add that I wouldn’t have been able to achieve a grade 9 in English without Mr Lee!

Sonia achieved a fantastic set of results after joining CCF in Year 10. She looks forward to starting her next chapter in September where she plans to study Maths, Economics and Business Studies. She hopes to continue her success and apply to university after her A Levels.  

I can’t believe it! I wasn’t sure this was possible but would like to thank my brilliant teachers who really cared and supported me when I joined the school in Year 10 and didn’t have as much time to prepare for my exams. They ensured that I had everything I needed to achieve my goals.”

Theo, former Brookland Primary School pupil

Theo achieved an incredible set of results and looks forward to starting his journey at CCF Sixth Form where he plans to study English Literature, Maths, Politics and Physics. He hopes to continue his success and pursue a career in nuclear science after obtaining a degree at the University of Manchester. Watch this space! 

The teachers are the school’s biggest asset – they are so supportive and encouraging. The opportunities on offer at CCF are also fantastic and the learning environment is friendly and positive. I will always be grateful for the unforgettable ski trip

Amir joined CCF in Year 8 and is part of an ambitious family of doctors. He is inspired by both of his parents to continue the family tradition in the future. He will be studying Biology, Chemistry and Maths at CCF Sixth Form and hopes to attend university to study Medicine.

The teachers are very experienced and knowledgeable. They make the working environment a very positive place to be and an easy place to work and learn in. I am looking forward to starting my A Levels at CCF in September!

Catrin, former Martin Primary School pupil

Catrin was incredibly pleased with her results. Even though she is relocating to Wales and won’t be continuing her studies at CCF, she credits the exceptional experience she has had. Catrin will be studying Biology, Maths, History and hopes to apply for university after her A Levels.

The opportunities the school provide students with outside of the curriculum are fantastic – there is something unique for everyone to experience. The Mandarin Excellence Programme is a sensational concept that allowed us to visit Florida as part of a cultural exchange programme and it is one of my favourite memories from my time here. The school have ensured I am prepared for my next step!

Scarlet, former Garden Suburb Junior School pupil

Scarlet, Garden Suburb Junior School alumni, received an impressive set of results and she is excited to continue her studies at CCF Sixth Form where she will focus on Psychology, English and History. She aspires to go on to the London School of Economics to study Law after her A Levels. 

CCF have a superb set of teachers who always push us to fulfil our potential and I am very grateful for their help and guidance. I am really looking forward to starting my A Levels in the Sixth Form and continuing my journey at CCF.

Nathan was delighted with his results and credits the additional opportunities provided by CCF for ensuring he achieved academically and developed the skills to assist with his future. He obtained impressive grades and is looking forward to starting at CCF Sixth Form in September to study Biology, English, Maths and Chemistry.

I have really enjoyed my time so far at CCF, I have been part of many different extra-curricular activities including directing the school musical two years running and belonging to the talented school orchestra. I am excited for the next chapter and hope to embark and introduce new activities to the school through mentoring and helping with clubs for younger year groups.”
