You have made an excellent decision in applying to join The NCS. Regardless of your background, we know that education is the way in which young people can give themselves the greatest number of options for the future. For those students who want to go onto the most competitive universities and school leaver programmes in the UK and abroad, getting outstanding A-Levels is the means by which this can be achieved. The NCS curriculum is designed to not only achieve those outstanding A-Levels, but to prepare students to be successful in whatever field, career or interest they wish to pursue. The teachers here are dedicated, love their subjects and are motivated to share their interest and expertise with the next generation of students at The NCS. I look forward to meeting you.
Ms A Lomax
Principal
I am excited by the challenge of creating an academically high achieving and innovative Sixth Form Centre that students in Newham will aspire to be part of. At the moment many of the most gifted students in Newham go outside the borough for their post 16 education which is a loss to the local community. The NCS will focus on delivering traditional A-Levels and an extracurricular programme that provides opportunities for personal and social development that will prepare young people in Newham with the knowledge, skills and experiences to join Russell group universities or internships within high status professions and companies.

- Seven Kings High School – Head of KS5 Biology
- The Lammas School, Leyton – Science teacher and form tutor
I have taught KS5 biology for 6 years and I also work as an examiner of A-Level Biology papers. During my time as Head of Biology I have provided my students with many enriching extra-curricular opportunities. I have invited many speakers from excellent Universities to give lectures in school about their cutting-edge research. I have organised trips, including a trip to Japan (where students take part in research projects at universities there). I have supported my students to earn CREST awards by carrying out their own research projects and have also facilitated them to enter biology-related competitions, including a national competition in which all 3 of the groups I mentored were shortlisted as finalists and thus presented their work at the international conference of the Physiological Society and one of my groups won Silver medals.
Do your best every day! Enjoy learning! Be fearless – push yourself out of your comfort zone. Don’t hesitate to ask for help – at the NCS we all support each other.
