Cf School Creating Foundations

CF School offers full time education for high school students in Years 7 - 11. We are a small, friendly school with a family atmosphere. We have no religious affiliation and welcome all students openly. CF School follows a British based curriculum leading to IGCSEs and A Levels. Our focus is personal well being and happiness, coupled with high standards of teaching and learning. The development of the ‘whole child’ is essential. We have created a family atmosphere where genuine care is shown to one another and where the celebration of each other’s achievements is valued. Our motto, ‘Work hard, Be kind’ is central to all we do. We are an extremely small school of only 30 students. This is a deliberate choice. We understand that some students do not thrive in a larger, typical high school. This is not due to their academic potential but rather that they require a much smaller, individualised approach to their education. This is what we do well. We employ 8 full time teachers who are experienced subject specialists and all have a proven track record of success at IGCSE and A Level. We couple high standards of teaching and learning with a relaxed, caring, supportive, nurturing environment and our successes speak for themselves. In Years 7, 8 and 9 students follow a balanced curriculum ensuring they have a strong foundation to enter Year 10 where they will begin their Cambridge IGCSE courses. Year 10 and 11 students take IGCSEs in English Literature, English Language, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Latin. Currently they can then choose from Business Studies, Travel & Tourism, Geography and Physical Education (theory as well as practical). Our first class of Year 11s sat their IGCSE examinations in Summer 2021 and were awarded top grades in all subjects. All students achieved a higher level A*-C grade with 50% of students gaining A*/A grades in all subjects.
