Simon says …
“The community at CTK is key to the daily life of the college, staff are friendly and keen to welcome new colleagues. I have found this to be constant throughout my time at CTK, at many different levels of the organisation. I have been fortunate enough to have many CPD opportunities, ranging from subject training, to support when becoming an A Level examiner. CTK gave me a bursary and allowed me time to complete an MBA. Recently I have completed the Sixth Form College Association leadership programme.

Samad ST MARY'S Course: A Level Media, English Literature and Language and French
“I have really enjoyed my course trips. Also, knowing that everyone else is starting Sixth Form at the same time as you, makes meeting new people and fitting in a lot easier and fun. My teachers have helped me overcome my fear of interacting during class discussions. They encouraged me to participate by giving presentations to the whole class, which boosted my confidence. Teachers will motivate you to achieve the best of your ability.”
