Mrs Jackson
Teacher of Chemistry
I first visited The NCS as a university student considering whether to apply for teacher training. After my first day of work experience, I knew this was where I wanted to work. The high aspirations of the students alongside the dedication and enthusiasm of the staff made The NCS unique when compared to any other school I had visited. That was over 5 years ago and I still have the same reasons for working here today!

Ms Khatun
Teacher of Psychology
During my final year of University at UCL, I volunteered as an Academic Mentor at The NCS. After such an insightful experience mentoring the students and working with the staff here at The NCS, I decided to join The NCS myself to teach Psychology and share my passion for the subject. The NCS stood out for me as it not only provides students with the tools and resources for students to reach their academic potentials, but it also provides students with high quality enrichment programmes preparing our students for university and future careers.

MSc in Mathematics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Postgraduate Diploma in Education (Secondary School, Mathematics), The Chinese University of Hong Kong
BSc in Mathematics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
11 years of teaching experience of Secondary School S.1-S.6 (Age 12-18) in Hong Kong
Mathematics is a language that unlocks the secrets of the universe. Treat Mathematics as a game to discover the truth in the world. Have you ever found a question difficult and stopped doing it? You should spend time on it and think more. Ask teachers and peers. Remember, the question gives you a chance to learn from it. Challenge yourself. If you can solve a problem generally, you completely understand the method to solve it. Although A-Level Examinations are not easy, enjoy all the ways you are learning. You will definitely find it worthy in your life.
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.
Dr Maugeri
Teacher of Maths, Physics
As a maths teacher, I am passionate about teaching students how to develop their critical thinking when facing maths problems. Challenges should not be feared, but considered as exciting opportunities to learn and widen the horizon of our knowledge and logical thinking. The study of maths helps to develop a wide set of skills that are highly transferable in several other disciplines and important in our daily life. With that focus in mind, my aim is that of creating an environment where students can express their full potential as mathematicians and thinkers. Here at NCS, I am excited to work as part of an outstanding team of teachers, who have very high expectations for their students and strongly believe in their ability to excel academically. My aim is to contribute to building the foundations that will sustain our students in their academic pathway and future careers, as well as throughout their lives.
