Welcome to HSAEL Sixth Form

Our aim for students at HSAEL is clear and specific: to support you to be a leader in your chosen field.  

We know that the young people of Newham and Tower Hamlets can change the world. Our mission is to support you to secure leadership positions so that you can make a positive difference to your life, your community and society.  

This is an ambitious organization. Our aim is to be the best in Newham by 2028 and one of the leading sixth forms in the country. Our results over the last two years show that we are making rapid progress in meeting this objective. 

Why choose HSAEL? 

• We provide a private school education for free, with small, tutorial style classes and personalized support plans for each student. We call this human scale education. You get the personal attention necessary to succeed. 

• You get the benefits of a small sixth form, while being part of the Harris Federation, the largest and most successful sixth form in London. This gives you access to subject specialists, sector leading careers support and specialist mentoring to achieve your objectives.  

• We provide a prestigious lecture series and a breadth studies curriculum rivalling that of top IB (International Baccalaureate) institutions, worth an extra half an A-level.  

• We will also provide every student with the knowledge, skills and character to change the world through our exceptional Leadership Development Programme.  

We hope you find these pages helpful, as you consider your next steps for post 16. If you would like to find out more, do not hesitate to get in touch.
