We know that for Years 11 and 12, there are many valuable skills, important lessons, and life-changing experiences that can be learned outside of the classroom — and NCS is here to make that happen. It’s why we’ve worked with 92% of mainstream schools and colleges in the past, and we would love to work with yours too. It’s our mission to help all 16-17 year olds fulfil their potential and become world-ready and work-ready.
How can we work together?
There are lots of ways we work with schools and colleges to make NCS a reality for their students. We’ve listed a few below, but get in touch and together we can find the best way that works for you.
NCS experiences for your students
Our away from home experiences for 16-17 year olds help them boost their confidence, grow resilience, develop new skills, be a force for good, and become ready for the world of work. To find out how we can support your students please get in touch here.
NCS content in your teaching
Since 2020 our Skills Booster lesson resources have been used with over 150,000 students in over a thousand schools, colleges, and other educational settings as part of the Personal Development curriculum. You can find out more here.
We are approved by Ofsted
In the Ofsted School Inspection Handbook, NCS is described as ‘a programme whose positive impact on pupils may be considered as part of an Ofsted inspection report’ (see paragraph 292).
Your local NCS team can give you all the relevant information that inspectors might like to see — such as the number of your students who’ve taken part in NCS in the past, and what skills they developed as part of the experience.
"I would urge schools and colleges to work with NCS and together we can help prepare and develop young people for the future" - Brian Lightman, former general secretary, ASCL
