Our Alumni

“I’m really grateful to all the staff at Comberton for helping me achieve my potential. The teachers made lessons engaging and varied and were always willing to meet outside of lessons to discuss challenging concepts or provide supplementary learning materials. I was particularly impressed with the support I received in my university application - from guidance on personal statement writing to providing a mock interview, the staff provided invaluable aid for navigating my application to the University of Leeds School of Medicine.”

• Studied A-Level Biology, Chemistry and Maths • Currently studying Medicine at the University of Leeds School of

Medicine “The BTEC science course allowed me to develop my independent learning and research skills. It has also presented me with the opportunity to study Biochemistry at Bath University. The course was thoroughly enjoyable, helped by the support and encouragement from highly qualified teachers and staff. Comberton Sixth Form also provided me with an excellent environment to work on assignments and study.”

Max Hill

• Studied Level 3 BTEC Extended

Diploma in Science • Currently studying Biochemistry at Bath University “The support I had from all the staff at CSF was genuinely incredible; with each stage of the Oxford application process, including the personal statement, MLAT test and interviews, I always felt so well supported and I really benefitted from the wealth of 1:1 help I received. As well as this, I always found that the staff supported me pastorally too, and were always checking in on me throughout the process. Their constant support and encouragement was definitely a major part in me receiving an offer.”
