About London Academy of Excellence Tottenham (LAET)

About the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham

The place for Academic rigour, LAE Tottenham is a 16-19 free school which opened in September 2017 in state of the art premises next to White Hart Lane stadium, offering academically rigorous A Level subjects.

The principal education sponsor, Highgate School, provides significant educational support, including seconded teaching staff. The business sponsor, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, provides funding and employment links. LAE Tottenham also benefits from eight other independent school partners each offering departmental support, CPD, expertise and opportunities for shared student experiences.

LAE Tottenham offers an academic curriculum focusing on ‘hard’ A Level courses as defined by leading universities which is complemented by an active co-curricular programme and the results of the first two cohorts of students put the school in the top 2% nationally for both attainment and progress.

LAE Tottenham is the Sunday Times 'State 6th Form College of the Year 2020-21' and is graded "outstanding" in all areas by Ofsted.
