Alperton Community School is a large, mixed 11-18 academy with over 350 students in our thriving Sixth Form. We recently expanded intake to 12 forms in each year group and are committed to inclusion and community engagement. Our students are well behaved, hardworking, and ambitious to succeed. In our most recent Ofsted inspection (July 2021), the school was graded Good, with inspectors noting that pupils enjoy school, feel safe, and that leaders have high expectations.

Student progress at GCSE and A Level has been strong, with Progress 8 in 2024 at 0.79 (well above average) and A Level progress among the top 1% nationally. A high proportion of students go on to study at Oxbridge and other Russell Group universities. Attendance and outcomes are excellent, and we have received recognitions including the 2022 Pearson Making a Difference Award and TES recognitions.
