At CATS Cambridge, we believe in shaping students who are not only academically successful but also socially confident, globally aware, and emotionally resilient. That’s why our enrichment programme is designed to complement rigorous academic study with meaningful experiences outside the classroom. Whether it’s through debating, public speaking, or earning an internationally recognised Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, students gain essential skills that prepare them for life at university—and beyond.
Our debating and public speaking societies help students build confidence, critical thinking, and persuasive communication—traits that are invaluable for interviews, university applications, and leadership roles. Weekly sessions and inter-school competitions offer real-world experience in argument construction and respectful discourse, attracting students with aspirations in law, politics, international relations, and more.
Equally transformative is participation in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) programme. Students challenge themselves through volunteering, physical activity, skills development, and adventurous expeditions. DofE is recognised by universities worldwide as a mark of personal commitment, discipline, and character. For international students, it offers a unique opportunity to engage with the local community and develop independence while adapting to life in the UK.
These experiences, alongside other enrichment options like Model United Nations, community service, and creative arts, make life at CATS Cambridge dynamic and well-rounded. We don’t just focus on where students want to go—we focus on who they want to become. That’s what makes us one of the leading choices for families seeking a top private or boarding school education for their children in a global context.
