A sixth form centre for excellence 5 “If you want to be academically challenged and socially enriched – then I would recommend CTK. It is very diverse – not only in terms of race and culture but also in the beliefs and values of its students. I won an internship through the charity Urban Synergy. I’m going to study Political Science at the University of Bristol.” Ava – A Level Geography (A*), Economics (A), English Literature (A) Be connected Thanks to our strong links with employers and businesses, you will attend talks from visiting industry speakers and have opportunities to do work placements at top City companies.
