Welcome from our Senior Deputy Heads
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.
We place great importance on student voice and listen closely through regular meetings with senior leaders, student councils and houses. In a world of constant change, we aim to develop confident, thoughtful individuals with deep subject knowledge, strong judgement and ethical awareness. Our goal is for every student to leave us ready not only for leading universities, but to contribute meaningfully and responsibly to the world they will help shape.
