The London Academy of Excellence Tottenham is a new sixth form free school opening in September 2017 in the London borough of Haringey. The principal educational sponsor is Highgate School, a leading independent school in North London. Eight other leading independent schools in London and the South East will act as partner schools and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is the business sponsor.
The sixth form free school will offer the twelve A-Level subjects most valued by prestigious universities and employers. It is based on the successful model of the London Academy of Excellence in the London borough of Newham, which was voted the "Best State Sixth Form in the Country" in 2015 and saw half of all A-level grades at A/A* in their 2016 A-level results. The sixth form was named by Tatler in its list of the "Best Secondary Schools 2017", praising its "super" academic facilities and "eagle-eyed" tutoring system. As of January 2017, 20 students held offers to study at Oxford or Cambridge.
The sixth form will have substantial links with the local community, with all students volunteering in partnership teaching activities involving local schools based at the sixth form. 50% of offers are guaranteed to be made to students studying in five schools in the east of Haringey:Gladesmore Community School, Heartlands High School, Northumberland Park Community School, Park View School and Woodside High School. In December 2016, it was recommended by the Haringey STEM commission that the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham should be a centre for STEM teaching excellence, acting as a hub "for improvement, support and professional development" throughout the borough.
The principal educational sponsor is Highgate School, a leading independent school in North London. As part of its charitable activity, the school has funded the Chrysalis Partnership, a scheme supporting 26 state schools in six London boroughs, a number of which will act as feeder schools for the new sixth form. Highgate School has been, since 2010, a founding partner of the London Academy of Excellence in Stratford.
