Welcome to CATS and great to join in!

A warm welcome to our new and returning students - particularly our late arrivers who joined us after the start of term. You can see how fast moving it has all been already! We welcomed LSE in for small group meetings with students and then over 80 universities at our October University Fair including Imperial, Bath and Kings and overseas universities such as New York, Florida and Hong Kong. 

We were shortlisted for awards of Excellence by the Independent Schools Association and the Times for 2015 and won the International Schools Award. We celebrated the state visit to the UK of the President of China and students went on a half term trip to Paris - only two hours from Canterbury! More trips are planned next year to Morocco and Poland as we celebrate being part of such an amazing world. We had House competitions for the best Halloween decorations and fun trips to Thorpe Park...!

In the middle of this we soon approach November 11th where in the UK we keep two minutes silence to remember all those around the world who have died as a result of war. The Queen leads the tributes in London and it's a time to reflect on the peace and stability we enjoy which cost many people their lives to create for us. Let's all remember how lucky we are and on the 11th remember all those who have died as a result of war  and be thankful for the full lives and peace we all enjoy while we focus on our studies in the UK.
