About The London Academy of Excellence

The London Academy of Excellence sits in the London borough of Newham as a state-funded sixth-form college for students aged 16 to 19, and it holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. Newham has 26 secondary schools of the same type, eight of which are rated Outstanding, so the school is in strong company. Its nearest Outstanding neighbour is Chobham Academy, just 0.9 kilometres away. Among the top-performing peers in the local authority, Forest Gate Community School leads with a ranking score of 1.05, followed by Cumberland Community School at 0.71 and Brampton Manor Academy at 0.59. The London Academy of Excellence does not have a published Progress 8 score in this data, but its Outstanding Ofsted grade places it among the highest-rated institutions in the area. Headteacher John Rubinstein leads a mixed, non-selective sixth form with 500 pupils, and the school’s focus on post-16 study means it draws students from across Newham and beyond who are ready for A-levels and university preparation.
