Life after CBS

University destinations

The ultimate aim is not simply to achieve strong examination results, but for those results to enable each student to follow the academic path they aspire to.

Our support throughout Sixth Form includes the academic preparation students need to approach the next stage with confidence, independence and clear aspirations.

Results matter because they open opportunities. But behind every grade are years of learning, effort, support, confidence and a student building their own future.
