Thank you to everyone who attended our Open Evening on Thursday 21 November. We were delighted to welcome so many students and parents to the event and to receive such excellent feedback.
The event was hosted by two of our current 6th form students Tariq and Aliza, who opened the evening with an engaging speech about their educational journey and future aspirations and how Alperton Sixth Form has been able to support them. They were particularly grateful for the continued support and advice the teachers and pastoral team have provided, but also for the numerous opportunities available at Alperton, that include not only learning opportunities, but also a wide range of enrichment activities, societies, clubs, national and international trips, leadership and entrepreneurial activities and much more.
