A leading selective sixth form that the Government has used as a model for its levelling up agenda could win thousands of pounds for its work on improving pupil mental health.
The London Academy of Excellence (LAE), a high-performing academically selective sixth form in Newham – which has been used as a model for three new sixth forms opening in Dudley, Middlesbrough and Oldham as part of the levelling up agenda – could win 250,000 dollars (£200,000) for its mental health projects.
It is one of four schools in the UK on the top 10 shortlists for the World’s Best School Prizes, launched by company T4 Education.
The LAE created a bespoke wellbeing programme for pupils, working with local psychology undergraduates to improve mental health with Year 12.
