Once again, Alperton Community School has produced an excellent set of results at GCSE. This year we have seen a surge in our attainment score which has improved by over 3 points in spite of the increased challenge of the new GCSEs.
The results for the most able students were exceptional in the new more demanding GCSEs with a quarter of students achieving the top grades (9-7) in English and maths. Â There were almost 100 grades at 9-7 in the sciences â biology, chemistry and physics. In total, ACS students achieved almost 400 grades at 9-7/A*-A.
ACS students achieved 50 Grade 9 results across the new 9-1 qualifications, putting us into the top 4% of results in the country. Â Students achieved 12 Grade 9 results in English and 8 Grade 9 results in maths. Across the sciences, 14 students achieved the highest possible grade.
The progress students have made from their primary school is exceptional. Â In the last few years, the school has achieved a huge increase in the percentage of students achieving grade 4 and above equivalent in English and maths. In 2018, 66% of students made better than expected progress in English and over 50% of students made better than expected progress in maths.

Gerard McKenna, Headteacher, said âonce again, our students have performed exceptionally well at GCSE. Â I believe we achieved excellent outcomes because we aspire to provide every student with an outstanding education within a supportive, vibrant and stimulating learning environment.
