About CATS Cambridge

CATS Cambridge is a co-educational independent sixth-form college in central Cambridge, established in 1952. Students are within walking distance of university libraries, museums, and the academic culture that defines the city. With 278 students on roll, the college operates at a compact scale: individual attention is practical, and the cohort is genuinely international. Accredited by ISA (Independent Schools Association), BSA (Boarding Schools’ Association), and CIFE (Council for Independent Further Education), it sits within a regulated framework of independent further education. Programmes are designed explicitly around university entry, covering UK undergraduate pathways, foundation routes, and accelerated GCSE progression.

Academic Life

CATS Cambridge offers GCSE, Pre-A Level, A Level, and a University Foundation Programme (UFP), alongside a UK High School Term option and summer programmes. The curriculum covers students aged 14 to 19, with particular depth at sixth-form level. A Level students take three subjects in small-group teaching, the format typical of independent sixth-form colleges. In 2025, 81% of A Level grades were A*–C. The Pre-A Level year exists for students who need a preparatory stage before committing to two-year A Level study.

Sixth form

The principal sixth-form qualification is A Level, taken across Years 12 and 13. The UFP runs in parallel for students targeting UK undergraduate entry via a non-A Level route. International tuition fees for A Level (3 subjects) are £38,515 per year (2025–26, VAT-inclusive). Full boarding — tuition plus catered single en-suite accommodation — is £60,035 per year (2025–26, VAT-inclusive). UK domestic tuition stands at £22,080 per year. The college’s focus is progression to competitive universities. Its Cambridge location supports direct engagement with university open days, faculty events, and application preparation in context.

Boarding & Pastoral Life

Boarding at CATS Cambridge means catered single en-suite rooms. That is a more individual standard than the shared dormitory arrangements common at many traditional boarding schools. The pastoral structure is designed for students aged 14–19, many living away from home internationally for the first time. At 278 students, pastoral staff maintain regular individual contact. The Cambridge setting forms part of the boarding experience: cycle paths, cultural venues, and collegiate events are all close by.

Beyond the Classroom

A central Cambridge location opens extracurricular options that more rural schools cannot offer. Students can attend public lectures at university departments and visit the Fitzwilliam Museum. The college runs summer programmes alongside its term-time curriculum, extending provision across the calendar year. The UK High School Term programme offers a structured short-stay academic option for students who want to experience British independent education without committing to a full year.

Campus & Setting

CATS Cambridge sits in central Cambridge, close to the university’s colleges, libraries, and research facilities. Specialist academic resources, transport links, and the atmosphere of a city built around higher education are all within easy reach. London Stansted Airport is approximately 40 minutes away, keeping international travel manageable. Cambridge train station connects to London in under an hour.
