      • cife is the professional association for independent sixth-form colleges

        All cife colleges share the belief that students come first and that education should adapt to the individual rather than the other way round. That belief is made real by staff who have the time to get to know students fast and to tailor their approach to each individual. This makes cife colleges particularly good at helping students change school successfully.
