Ikenga

Welcome to NTC and to the Ikenga Learning Community!

When a student joins NTC they are assigned a Community and will remain part of that Community throughout their time at NTC.  I am very proud to say you have been assigned to one of the best Communities, Ikenga.

My name is Mr Lorraine and I am the Head of the Ikenga Learning Community.  Your Learning Coach and pastoral support manager will be working with you and your teachers to make sure that you reach your full potential whilst you are at NTC.

We do lots of things together as a Community including Community Hour, Assembly, Inter-Community competitions and raising money for and supporting charities.  The competitions are Football, Basketball and whole school Sports Day.  During Community Hour we work in groups of mixed ages from Year 7 up to Year 11 and we find out about our environment and the world around us, as well as finding out about our bodies and staying healthy.  We also celebrate achievement in lessons during our termly Achievement Assembly.  If you have worked hard or been helpful to others, you may be nominated by your teachers to receive an Achievement Certificate.

Ikenga is also known as the Red Community, as that is the colour of our Zone and the colour that we wear during Inter-Community competitions.  Our new Community logo will be unveiled soon.

You are now part of the friendliest and kindest Community.  We believe that as long as we work together as a team we can achieve anything. I am really looking forward to you being part of the Community Team and hope that you enjoy your time at NTC.

Yours sincerely

Mr Lorraine
