RESULTS
Our focus on subject passion and academic excellence, underpinned by outstanding pastoral care and enlivened by an outstanding extra-curricular programme of events, courses and external speakers, enables NLCS to remain consistently one of the most successful schools in the country.
NLCS students study a particularly diverse curriculum, which enables them to follow the International Baccalaureate Diploma programme or to take a combination of three or four A Level subjects.
This dedication to the uniquely rich educational experience offered at NLCS, that stretches and challenges students beyond the curriculum, has resulted in our Year 13 students being successful in securing their university offers. These include twenty-one students in their first year at Oxford and Cambridge, and eight studying overseas at US universities Brown; Columbia; Princeton; Yale, University of Southern California, UC Berkley and Notre Dame University.

“Additional sessions for Oxbridge Geography applicants were really helpful in the run up to interviews. Spending 30 minutes a week going through questions, practising how to think out loud and receiving specific feedback on our individual performance made me feel much more confident going into my interviews.”
– Anusha, successful Oxford applicant
We are proud of all the destinations that our students move on to following their time at NLCS. Universities recognise the academic excellence and passion that our students have, as well as the leadership qualities and confidence that they display. We provide the strongest possible foundation for students to achieve extraordinary things in their time beyond school, and are always delighted to celebrate such success when they come back to visit us as part of the ONL community.
