Who We Are

Newham Community Learning (NCL) exists to provide an excellent education for young people in Newham, East London. We are the only Trust in Newham to offer all-through provision from ages 2–16, giving families a consistent and supportive journey within one family of schools.

Across our two primary schools and four secondary schools in Newham, all based in the west of the borough, we educate over 5,400 local children and young people. We are proud to employ nearly 700 staff members, the majority of whom live locally and are invested in the success of their community.

Our Education Vision

The education we provide across our Newham Community Learning schools is:

Inclusive – we will seek to meet the needs and aspirations of all young people, and to value and support all members of our community

Ambitious – we will be ambitious for our young people, encouraging and supporting them to excel

Caring – creating school environments where all members of the community treat each other with kindness and respect

Broad-ranging – students will have access to a broad and rich range of experiences at school which will prepare them to play an active role in adult life in tomorrow’s Britain
