We are a split-site school, with a short walk of approximately 8 minutes between sites, and on-site parking is available.

We are a large, mixed, 11-18 academy with over 350 students in our sixth form. Due to our increased popularity and successes, we have recently expanded our roll to 12 forms in each year group. Alperton Community School is an inclusive school with a student intake that reflects a wonderfully diverse and vibrant local community. Our students are very well behaved, work hard and are ambitious to succeed. Our most recent Ofsted inspection in July 2021 graded our school as Good "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 GCSE and A Level has been well above national averages for many years with disadvantaged students’ outcomes closely matching their peers. Our progress 8 score was 0.82 in 2023 (well above average) with A Level progress in the top 1% of schools. We also see high numbers of our students’ progress to Oxbridge and Russell Group Universities. Student attendance is excellent and the percentage of students who remain in education, employment or training are also well above national averages.

Recent awards include the 2022 Pearson “Making a Difference” Award; the school was recently shortlisted for the TES School of the Year and won the TES Maths Team of the Year.

This is an exceptional opportunity. It will offer the successful candidate a friendly, highly supportive and committed working environment within a culture of success and professional growth. The school offers excellent support for ECTs in their induction year.
