Year 13 Alperton Community School students have again exceeded all expectations with an excellent set of A Level results. With some results yet to come in, ACS students have been awarded 90 A* and A grades, with over 50% of the examinations being awarded A*, A or B grades. As a result, many of our students have been accepted at prestigious Russell Group universities.
We are particularly pleased with continued strong performances in English, Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Media. We are especially pleased with the exceptional progress students made in Business Studies, Economics, ICT, Sociology and Psychology.
ICT continued to be a very successful and popular subject with almost all students achieving the highest grades of Distinction and Distinction*(star). The 2019 results are a further improvement on last year’s results which showed Alperton Community School to be higher than the national average.
Special congratulations go to Hamza Ahmadi who achieved A*A*A and will read Medicine at Cambridge University and Balqiis Ali who achieved A*,A,B and will read English at Cambridge University. Other top achievers include Sarvesh Thaleshwar A*A A (reading Aerospace Engineering at Bristol); Mital Ashok A*A*A (reading Maths and Computer Science at Imperial); Dhyan Patel A*AA (reading Economics at LSE); Abdirahman Hassan AAB (reading Electronic Engineering at UCL) and Ayshia Darroux AAB (reading Law at Sussex).
Hamza said “I am really happy with my results and can’t wait to start my medicine course at Cambridge.” Balqiis said “I have really enjoyed studying at Alperton Community School. I really appreciate all the support I have had from all my teachers.” Twelve students achieved at least two A/A* in their A levels which is an outstanding achievement.
Students from Alperton Community School are now represented in the following Russell Group universities: Oxford, Cambridge, London School of Economics, Imperial, York, Warwick, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, University College London, King’s College London, Queen Mary, Sheffield and Southampton.
Gerard McKenna, Headteacher, said “We are very proud of the excellent achievement and progress made by all of our students. We work closely together as a community of staff, students and parents to support every one of our students to meet their aspirational goals. Our students inspire us to continually improve and we have established and maintained an excellent track record of success. It is a real pleasure to work with such talented and committed staff who have created a vibrant and stimulating learning environment for our students. Our oversubscribed school includes world class facilities at our brand new lower school site and we have developed our upper school site to fully support the needs of our Year 11 and Sixth form students.”
