This week we welcomed CCS Alumni student Rory Bates back to speak to Year 13 and Year 12 Economics students about his journey in the subject on his way to A* success last year. From hints and tips regarding key content to know, through to his own examples of the best way to display the skills learnt in the exam, Rory provided some invaluable and honest insights into what it takes to achieve outstanding A Level results. The students asked a fantastic range of questions and Rory's enthusiasm really shone through and left them all with a renewed drive to as to how they can further their own A Level journey. We would like to just extend a huge thank you to Rory for giving up his time to help the current students excel in their A Level journey.
We are incredibly proud to share that our Year 13 student, Ioana Marcu, has been awarded the Johnny Harris Award this week.

Well done, Ioana!
