About Christ the King Sixth Forms: Aquinas

Welcome to Christ the King Sixth Forms

Established in 1992, Christ the King is a group of Catholic sixth forms in the South London area, dedicated to the education and development of the whole person.

Offering exceptional, expert teaching in a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, each CTK sixth form creates an environment where high achievement is promoted and attained.

Our students aim high and enjoy being part of our community. This means receiving extensive pastoral support, connecting with our successful alumni, and studying a bespoke graduate programme to becoming confident, ambitious young people. CTK vision All young people at Christ the King Sixth Forms are:

• Encouraged to be ambitious and high achieving

• Challenged to be resilient, confident, creative and courageous.

• Educated to be articulate, curious, reflective and capable.

• Supported to develop the virtues of loyalty, respect, care and commitment.

• Inspired to live principled, moral and dignified lives.

The CTK Graces Our Character Education Programme, is the articulation of our mission and the distinctive vision we have for every student who studies at Christ the King Sixth Forms.

The CTK Graces signify the character traits that we ensure our students develop – so that they model the expectations, habits and behaviours inherent in a scholarly approach to learning. These are:

• G – Grit

• R – Respect

• A – Awareness

• C – Curiosity

• E – Endeavour

• S – Self-control

In doing this we enrich our communities and challenge our students to live a good life in all its fullness.

Our motto is: Ut Vitam Habeant - That they may have life in all its fullness. John 10:10
