ABOUT US

Duke’s Aldridge Academy has been part of the Aldridge family of schools since 2017 when it chose to join Aldridge Education Trust. The school is at the heart of its community and situated right next door to Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and nearby to White Hart Lane station. As an inner-city London school, it experiences the ebb and flow of city life, and no two days are the same. It serves a diverse community of many nations and makes good provision for those needing to learn English or using English as a second or third language.
Duke’s is a vibrant, lively 11-16 co-educational school that serves its community well. It shares its extensive site with a local community special school, Vale School. Duke’s has close links with the nearby London Academy of Excellence Tottenham, sponsored by Tottenham Hotspur Football Club - an academically selective co-educational 16-19 provision. It also has strong partnerships with Linklaters, a multinational law firm based in London.
Duke’s is a member of the Aldridge Education family of schools.
Aldridge Education is a charitable Trust of entrepreneurial community schools and colleges that help young people to reach their potential.
