Money raised will fund a full-time counselling provision at the London Academy of Excellence (LAE) Tottenham – the state-funded sixth form college based within the Club’s stadium development scheme.

Sponsored by Tottenham Hotspur and Highgate School, LAE Tottenham was recently named The Sunday Times Sixth Form College of the Year, with an incredible 66 per cent of its students winning places at Russell Group Universities following this year’s A-Level results, including six at Oxford and five at Cambridge. A further 10 students have been offered Oxbridge places in the next academic year, with more than 80 per cent holding offers to Russell Group Universities.

These achievements are made even more remarkable in the context of the school being situated within one of the two per cent most deprived wards in the country, with 63 per cent of students coming from the lowest two social groups – being described as living in “struggling estates” or “difficult circumstances” – using the ACORN tool for socio-economic analysis.

Meanwhile, 51 per cent have been eligible for free school meals during secondary school, compared with the national average of 28 per cent for all schools and just 4.5 per cent for selective schools.

Around 200 school families are currently being supported by a hardship fund established by the school.

Full-time mental health support will help students cope with the pressures of A-Levels and continue to achieve their dreams in the face of challenging personal circumstances.

Jan Balon, Head Teacher, LAE Tottenham, said: “Good mental health is fundamental to be able to thrive in life. The level of support required in this area is growing – both due to increased student numbers and demand for these services – and, to reduce waiting times, we need additional counselling provision to support young people suffering from the effects of the pandemic.

“COVID-19 has exacerbated existing inequalities and many members of our student body have experienced extreme financial hardship, parental job losses and bereavements in their immediate family. We want to make sure we can best support them through this period to help them to thrive at and beyond LAE Tottenham.”

Donna-Maria Cullen, Executive Director, Tottenham Hotspur, said: “This is a cause that is close to the hearts of everyone at the Club – as has been displayed by the incredible generosity of our players in donating such high value items to this auction.

“We are extremely proud of LAE Tottenham’s staff and students for achieving such incredible results in recent years and want to ensure our local young people continue to be given the best possible support alongside their studies during these difficult times.”
