Academy Mission

Our core belief is that young people from Newham and Tower Hamlets are amongst the most talented in the country and, if given the right opportunities, can make a powerful contribution to make our world a more prosperous, fairer and more equal place.

Our mission is to work with families to help every child to become a leader in their chosen field, with the opportunity to lead in STEM. We will do this by supporting all students to gain the qualifications they need to enter elite universities and professional careers of their choice and to develop the character to make a positive change in their community.

As a result of our work, HSAEL will become the highest performing academy in Newham and rank among the top academies in the UK.

Our Values

HSAEL leaders will not be the ruthless, heartless leaders of the future. Rather, we will develop the qualities of gracious leadership to enable all stakeholders to occupy positions of responsibility, have agency over their lives and others’ and make positive change within the community. The values of GRACE, therefore, underpin everything we do:

Growth - We are confident that we can be better. We know that feedback is essential for improvement. We never give up, especially when it is difficult.

Responsibility - We are self disciplined, we own our decisions and we acknowledge their impact on others. If we do something wrong, we put it right.

Ambition - We aim to be the best versions of ourselves at all times. We believe in the potential to achieve the highest grades and access to the best careers/ universities.

Compassion - We are always kind to others, regardless of who they are. We regularly show our appreciation.

Excellence - We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not, therefore, an act, but a habit. We are proactive, and curious to know and do more.
