Alperton Community School has once again produced another excellent set of GCSE and A Level results. While national results have fallen to 2019 levels, the results achieved by the students at Alperton Community School have continued to improve year on year.
At A level, 55% of examinations were awarded the top A*- B grades and over 75% of students achieved Distinction* or Distinction grades on our Level 3 applied programmes. With 96 A* and A grades and 27 Distinction* (star) grades, our students should be very proud of their achievements.
We are particularly pleased with the strong performances across a wide range of disciplines such as English, Maths, Chemistry, Further Maths, Sociology, Economics, Politics and Textiles, BTEC Business, BTEC ICT and Health and Social Care where student results were higher than expected from their GCSE results.
As a result, many of our students have been accepted at prestigious Russell Group universities including Cambridge, Imperial, Warwick, Bristol, King’s College (London), Queen Mary, Nottingham, Queen Mary (London), London School of Economics, University of Glasgow and UCL to read a wide range of subjects including Medicine, Pharmacy, Law, Computing, Sociology, Psychology, Business, English, Fine Art, Astrophysics and Engineering. The range of subjects exemplifies not only the broad range of our curriculum, but the wide range of student interests at Alperton Community School.
Special congratulations go to Praveen Nadesanathan and Ali Ullah who achieved A*A*A*, Ritesh Makvana who achieved A*A*AA., Swati Chandrakant and Nital Lalji who achieved Dist* Dist*Dist*.
We were also especially pleased to hear that 13 of our students were accepted into top-level apprenticeships with employers such as KPMG, Deloitte, IBM, PWC, Amazon, Accenture, Shell, Mazars and Bank of England.
At GCSE, the results for the most able students were exceptional with almost one third of all entries in English and maths achieving grades 7 to 9. Of the 180 grade 9s achieved this year, 24 grade 9s were in maths, 24 in Physics, 19 in Chemistry, 16 in English Literature, 13 in Biology and 12 in Computing. In total, Alperton Community School students achieved 754 grades at 9-7 and more than 1500 grades 5 and above.
The progress students have made since their KS2 primary results is excellent, particularly
given the school time lost during COVID. 40% of students achieved above their expected grade in English and 45% above their expected grade in maths. The school expects the overall progress score (P8) to be similar to last year, suggesting that on average every student achieved almost one grade higher than expected in every examination.
Our special congratulations to Neev Patel and Najiha Shaikh for achieving grade 9s in all their GCSE examinations. Nora Binani was also very happy with nine grade 9s in English language, maths, biology, chemistry, physics, further maths, history, psychology and Spanish and one grade 8 in English literature.
The students all commented on how happy they were with their results and many took the opportunity to thank the teachers for all their support over the years.
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.”
