Why work with NCL?

Newham Community Learning exists in order to provide an excellent education for all young people in our community.  We are the only Trust to offer all-through provision from ages 2 – 16 within a single family of schools in Newham. Across our two primary and four secondary schools, all located in the west of the borough, we educate over 5,400 local children and young people, and employ a team of  close to 700 members of staff, the vast majority of whom live locally.

Why we exist

Newham Community Learning is a local group of schools, which exists in order to provide an excellent education for all young people in our community

The education we provide will be:

• Ambitious –  for our young people, encouraging and supporting them to excel
• Caring –  where all members of the community treat each other with kindness and respect
• Inclusive –  meeting the needs and aspirations of all young people
• Broad-ranging – giving access to a broad and rich range of experiences to prepare them for an active role in the next stage of their education or life after school

Our agreed principles

• We support staff at all levels to continue developing and learning, including continuously refreshing their knowledge and skills.
• We manage our resources effectively and transparently for the benefit of our students.
• We listen and respond to the views of our staff, students, families and our local community.
• We are actively committed to diversity, inclusion and equity– no one is left out or left behind.
• We place the highest priority on safeguarding the young people in our care.
• We maintain and value the distinct identity of each school within the Trust.
• We work collaboratively with a wide range of partners, including the local authority, unions and other stakeholders, to achieve the best possible outcomes for our wider community.
• We are a responsible employer, supporting our staff and recognising that the commitment of our staff is fundamental to the success of our schools.
