Teacher of Chemistry
Chemistry MChem – University of Oxford
Why I Joined The NCS
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!

Why I Joined The NCS
The NCS provides opportunities for success and an environment that allows students to master their chosen A-Levels. I am passionate and excited to work with students to help them achieve their goals through lessons which are academic, enriching, and challenging. These lesson qualities ensure all students attain the best they can and pursue further education in outstanding universities and apprenticeships. The NCS has rightly gained a reputation for high-quality learning, and I love to work with hard-working, dedicated students. I look forward to sharing my love of Geography with classes and tackling content that is among the most important and pressing issues our Earth currently faces.

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.

BA (Hons) Sociology – University of Leeds
Why I Joined The NCS
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.
