The Times and Sunday Times recently released their annual Parent Power School League Tables for 2025, and we are delighted to share that The NCS has been ranked as the second best sixth form in the UK for the second year in a row.
This incredible recognition comes as we celebrate our tenth anniversary. Over the past decade, we’ve worked tirelessly to inspire our students to make a meaningful and lasting contribution to society, and this ranking confirms the impact of that work.
A Legacy of Excellence
At The NCS, we’ve always set out to provide a world-class holistic A-Level education that rivals the best private and grammar schools. Our focus has always been guided by our vision; delivering exceptional academic results while also nurturing the values of curiosity, ambition, and resilience in our students. Being recognised by The Times as one of the top sixth forms in the UK is not only a testament to the hard work of our students but also the dedication of our passionate and expert teaching staff and the unwavering support from parents and carers.
Leading the Way in London and Beyond
This recognition places us amongst the most elite institutions in the country and highlights our role as one of the best sixth forms in London for student outcomes. It underscores our dedication to delivering a top-tier holistic A-Level education that prepares students for the brightest future careers in their desired career sectors. NCS alumni are now working across the globe in careers that inspire them to make a change. Many return and offer guidance and support to our current cohort of students to ensure that they too can follow in their footsteps.
A Decade of Transforming Lives
As we reflect on our first ten years, we are incredibly proud of the journeys our students have embarked on—whether progressing to Oxbridge, America’s Ivy League, securing places at top Russell Group universities, or pursuing careers that make a difference. Our mission has always been to improve life chances of the brightest young students in our community and to promote social mobility. Recognition such as this affirms that The NCS is making a real difference.
Looking Ahead
While we celebrate this achievement, we remain focused on the future. Our goal is to continue raising aspirations and ensuring every student at The NCS is equipped with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel.
