Building on this success, and with excellent support provided by the Trust and sponsor, this is a great opportunity to lead our highly ambitious sixth form centre’s philosophy of making a real difference to the lives of young people.

The NCS offers an academic A-Level Curriculum with a specialism in Science and Maths, alongside strong pathways in Humanities. The A-Level Curriculum and the extra-curricular programme are focused on preparing students for progression to highly competitive universities in the UK and abroad.
