I'm delighted to welcome you to the London Academy of Excellence's website on behalf of the students, faculty, and Governing Body. The Acade25 jan js baker 01my was founded in 2012 to offer students looking for a top-notch academic education opportunities in key disciplines and access to places at prestigious institutions. LAE has swiftly become known as the location to accomplish this. The Academy has quickly established a well-deserved local and national reputation as one of the top state sixth form providers in the UK in just five short years. The Academy consistently produces some of the greatest outcomes, not just in London but throughout the entire UK. At LAE, we are steadfastly committed to the holistic development of each student. Sixth-formers engage in a broad and varied co-curricular curriculum outside of the classroom, which includes sports, music, and the performing arts and allows each student to further explore their individual interests, character, and skills. Students leave us after two years of study prepared to make a meaningful contribution to the world as future leaders in their respective disciplines. They have a strong feeling of pride in belonging to the varied, inclusive, high-performing, and friendly LAE community. The academy has close ties with several independent schools. These schools have historically had the best luck getting their pupils into Oxford, Cambridge, and other Russell Group universities. These priceless connections are unavailable at any other school. Our service is genuinely exceptional and unmatched, especially when combined with our solid ties to the colleges themselves and first-rate counsel and guidance.
