Information about the provider

The London Academy of Excellence (LAE), founded as a free school in 2012, is an academic sixth form college.

Its sole campus is in Stratford, in the London Borough of Newham. LAE recruits students from an increasingly wide range of secondary schools in other London boroughs, and is currently oversubscribed. The curriculum, of 16 to 19 study programmes with around 15 A-level subjects at the core, is designed to prepare students for university.

Most students take three or four A-level subjects, alongside a broad additional curriculum. LAE works particularly closely with independent schools and with local Newham secondary schools, some of which were involved with its foundation. In keeping with its founding principles, LAE recruits many students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
