Host Ricky Sacks and Lee McQueen are joined by Tottenham Hotspur’s Community Captain and headteacher Jan Balon, along with student Johnson to discuss the recognition of the incredible work in the local area being provided at the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham (LAET). LAET is a Sixth Form academy sponsored by the Club and located on the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium campus, in partnership with co-sponsor Highgate School, which prioritises local students most likely to benefit from an academically-rigorous curriculum and those from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds, giving Tottenham’s brightest students the best possible chance of accessing top universities. Jan was presented with the Community Captain accolade during a school assembly given by former player and now Club Ambassador, Jermain Defoe OBE. Jan has overseen the school’s incredible progression within a short space of time – it was named The Sunday Times Sixth Form College of the Year in 2020, sending more than 30 students to Oxbridge and many more to Russell Group Universities. Jan, who has masterminded partnerships with independent schools across London to support his students’ learning and success, has been the school’s Head since it opened in 2017 and has been awarded the Community Captain prize for his enthusiasm, inspiration and dedication to the students.
