The Student Room Group

do NOT go to LAET (London Academy of Excellence Tottenham)

hey guys,

you can ask any questions about why you shouldn’t go to laet if you have an offer! but overall it’s a school that isn’t even academic producing low grades because the teachers don’t put in effort and the students suffer from everything they lack. for example, the teachers are sent from highgate private school, (they send their worst ones) so they all work part-time and can’t be bothered to teach us. also the study areas are terrible, the food is bad and most people i speak to regret going here - it doesn’t even feel like a real school 😭 they also exclude people from trips so there’s a high chance you won’t even get to go to those “promised” school trips

probably their lack of organisation - the school is so unorganised in everything so we’re always behind overall :/ like one time they were unorganised with funding for a trip so it got cancelled entirely and the teachers SUCK at making sure we’re on top of our work so expect to behind by 1-2 months by the end of the year

No panicking now, :hand: everyone is different

The best thing you could do is come back and let us know how you're finding it. The a-levels forum and whole study help section is a great place to get A Level support. :wink:
