Admissions Criteria

London Enterprise Academy is an academy and therefore its own admission authority, but it adopts the London Borough of Tower Hamlets’ secondary admissions arrangements. All applications for this school must be made through the London Borough of Tower Hamlets’ Pupil Services. For primary transition (Year 7 entry in 2025), if the child lives in Tower Hamlets, apply via Tower Hamlets; if living outside Tower Hamlets but wishing to attend in Tower Hamlets, apply through the local authority in the family’s borough. Open Days/Open Evenings are suggested to help families decide, and applications for a place must be made even if a sibling attends the school. In-year admissions have a dedicated LEA form and typical offers occur within about 10 days. Useful admissions links include Tower Hamlets secondary admissions, in-year admissions and school admission criteria.
