What the data says

London Academy of Excellence is a 16–19 provider, so there is no Year 11 cohort: this page covers where its students went after 16–18 study and what they achieved.

Among the 231 students who left the sixth form in 2023, 79% went to university (Newham 53%, England 37%), and 71% of level 3 students progressed to one of the most selective universities, against 19% nationally.

A level grades average A-, well above the England average of B-; 55% of students achieved AAB or better including two facilitating subjects (England 18%). The largest A level subjects are Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology.
