Charterhouse Lagos, Nigeria’s first British Independent School, is delighted to announce the appointment of Natalie Parker as Head of Sixth Form, effective January 1 2026. This strategic leadership appointment marks a significant milestone in the school’s ongoing expansion and support for the development of its new Sixth Form programme.

Parker joins Charterhouse Lagos from Qatar Academy in Doha, where she currently serves as Assistant Principal.

In her new role, Parker will lead the development and delivery of the school’s Sixth Form, which opens in September 2026, alongside Year Ten (International General Certificate of Secondary Education).

She will be responsible for designing a high-quality A Level programme, recruiting and leading a dedicated team of teachers, and preparing students for entry into the world’s leading universities.

In addition to her Sixth Form responsibilities, Parker will join the senior leadership team at Charterhouse Lagos, contributing to the broader academic and pastoral vision of the school. Her work will place a strong emphasis on student leadership, academic rigour, and holistic support.

She has a strong track record of guiding students to success within both British and international systems. Her passion for education, combined with her strategic insight, makes her the ideal person to lead our Sixth Form. We are proud to welcome her to the Charterhouse Lagos team.”
