Alperton Community School is a large, mixed 11–18 academy, with over 350 students in our thriving Sixth Form. Due to our growing popularity and continued success, we have recently expanded our intake to 12 forms in each year group.
We are a truly inclusive school, reflecting the wonderfully diverse and vibrant local community we serve. Our students are exceptionally well behaved, hardworking, and ambitious to succeed.
In our most recent Ofsted inspection (July 2021), the school was graded Good, with inspectors noting:
“Pupils like coming to school and they enjoy their lessons.”
“Pupils can focus because they feel safe.”
“Leaders’ expectations of all pupils are high.”
“Pupils behave well in school. They focus on their learning in lessons. Pupils follow teachers’ instructions and listen to one another.”
Student progress at both GCSE and A Level has consistently been well above national averages. Outcomes for disadvantaged students closely match those of their peers. In 2023, our Progress 8 score was 0.82 (well above average), and our A Level progress placed us in the top 1% of schools nationally. A high proportion of our students go on to study at Oxbridge and other Russell Group universities.
Attendance across the school is excellent, and the percentage of students continuing into education, employment or training is significantly above the national average.
Our achievements have been recognised with several recent accolades, including the 2022 Pearson Making a Difference Award. We were also shortlisted for the TES School of the Year and won the TES Maths Team of the Year.
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a friendly, highly supportive, and committed team within a culture of success and professional growth. The school offers outstanding support for Early Career Teachers during their induction year.
