I am delighted to share with our school community our recent Ofsted Report from 24 March 2026. This report highlights the strengths of the school and is a reflection of the hard work of both our staff and students.
Under the new inspection framework, there is no overall judgement, but rather a five-point grading across 7 different judgements and a judgement on safeguarding. Alperton Community School has received a very strong report, which is a resounding endorsement of the work we all do every day to support the success of our students.
The report highlights the inclusivity of the school. This is reflected in the comments within the ‘What it’s like to be a pupil at this school’ section of the report which I have highlighted below.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Christopher Dixon
Headteacher
Pupils enjoy attending this diverse and inclusive school. They feel a strong sense of belonging, which is evident in the positive relationships they have with staff and with each other. Pupils are kept safe and they know whom to talk to if they have any concerns. They act maturely and value their education. On the rare occasions that pupils need help to meet expectations, staff act quickly and fairly. Pupils recognise this. The school supports them to make the correct choices and manage difficulties. Bullying is rare. When it does happen, pupils say that adults deal with it promptly and properly.
Pupils enjoy their learning and take pride in their work. Teachers explain new ideas clearly and help pupils to talk through their thinking. Pupils value the extra help teachers give them when they find learning difficult. Those who need additional support, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and pupils who speak English as an additional language, are included in all aspects of school life. Pupils achieve highly across a breadth of different subjects in the ambitious curriculum.
Pupils talk positively about the wide range of clubs and activities on offer. These experiences help them to develop confidence, leadership and resilience. Pupils’ knowledge beyond the classroom is enhanced through visits to the theatre, museums, galleries and discussions on topical issues, such as racism. Older pupils contribute to the school community through mentoring younger pupils, supporting events and taking on leadership roles. Pupils understand the importance of being kind and respectful. They learn about healthy relationships, online safety and how to look after their wellbeing. They discuss sensitive issues maturely. Pupils leave the school very well prepared for their future.
