In its own words: "Welcome to CATS Cambridge. We are a diverse international community where excellent pastoral care underpins everything we do and is central to student success. We are committed to preparing students for their life journeys by fostering mutual respect, resilience, curiosity, creativity, honesty and hard work, helping them thrive at university and beyond."

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for Cambridge Arts and Sciences (CATS and CSVPA) can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.
