OPTIMUM OMNIBUS The best for all

Personal Development

Beyond academic achievement, we place a strong emphasis on enrichment. Through leadership opportunities, life skills and careers guidance, and a culture of aspiration, students grow into confident, thoughtful, and independent young adults.

We set the bar high. Our sixth form is a place where academic ambition is celebrated, where students are encouraged to aim for excellence, and where success is not only expected—but shared by all.

 Leadership Opportunities

CFS is unique in that we are an all-through school which affords immense opportunities for student leadership. Our head students, supported by a team of prefects, mentor and coach younger children and represent the school at public events. In all of these activities, our student leaders are learning valuable life-long skills.

It is our vision that every one of our students will leave CFS equipped and qualified to take up exciting opportunities in careers and Higher Education. They are advised and guided with bespoke UCAS preparation and careers advice.  Year 12 students are all given the opportunity to connect with an industry mentor for their two years of sixth form. All students have a careers interview and we welcome specialists to talk about the applications process and student finance. All students visit the UCAS Higher Education fair at Surrey University and the National Apprenticeship Show in Year 12.
