A request for help
Dear Friend
As we enter the holiday season, many of you have kindly asked how you can support those in the LAE community less fortunate than yourselves. The LAE operates a fund that provides direct support to disadvantaged students both in, and outside, school. The fund helps students meet a variety of costs, some as basic as travel to and from school, clothing and stationery, but also including things such as educational trips and visits and paid - for co - curricular opportunities that hugely enrich sixth form life. The generous support of donors to the LAE, including parents and alumni, enable us to continue to support students who face challenging circumstances. In order for your support to be as meaningful as possible, the LAE has registered as a charity. This means that when parents and friends contribute to the support fund the charity can, under the Gift Aid scheme, increase the value of the donation by the basic rate tax amount, currently £25 for every £100 donated, at no additional cost to the donor. If your employer or pension provider offers a Payroll Giving scheme, donations can be taken before Income Tax is taken off. For higher - rate taxpayers, you can reclaim the difference between the tax you pay on the donation and what the charity receives when you fill in your Self Assessment tax return. How to Donate If you are wish to contribute to supporting students at the LAE, you may do so through ParentPay accounts or by bank transfer to London Academy of Excellence
Account Number: 42450682; Sort Code: 40 - 02 - 44
Gift aid declarations should be submitted separately and these are available on the Support Pages of the LAE website.
Thank you for your ongoing support to the LAE and its students.
