Duke's Aldridge Academy
Duke’s Aldridge Academy is a vibrant, diverse and energetic school community in the heart of North London, just steps away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. As a co-educational, multi-ethnic academy, Duke’s is proud to celebrate the richness of its local area and the young people who grow up within it.
