“The resources provided by teachers in many subjects are fantastic and<br />
will help you achieve the best grade possible. The overall quality of<br />
learning is outstanding.“ (Student, Year 12)
A LEVEL RESULTS <strong>2018</strong><br />
Alperton Community School students have again exceeded all<br />
expectations with a tremendous set of A Level results. They have been<br />
awarded 81 A* and A grades, with almost 50% of the examinations being<br />
awarded A*, A or B grades. As a result, more than 40% of students from<br />
the A level cohort have been accepted onto top degree courses at<br />
prestigious Russell Group universities.<br />
We are particularly pleased with continued strong performances in Maths<br />
and the sciences. Three quarters of students achieved grades A*/ A / B in<br />
Chemistry, Maths, Further Maths, Art, Media, ICT and Sociology. We are<br />
especially pleased with the exceptional progress students make in Art,<br />
Business Studies, ICT, Media and Sociology.<br />
ICT continued to be a very successful and popular subject with 96% of all<br />
students achieving the highest grade of Distinction*. The <strong>2018</strong> results are a<br />
further improvement on last year’s results which showed academic A Level<br />
results to be higher than the national results.<br />

“The atmosphere of collegiality is<br />
wonderful and the teachers are<br />
always keen to support and advice us.”<br />
(Sixth Form Student)
7 REASONS TO CHOOSE ALPERTON SIXTH FORM<br />
1. We put you first<br />
It’s your life, your future, so we’ll help you put together a programme of study that gets you<br />
where you want to go. You can use our open evenings, our bridging week in the Summer<br />
Term to look at what subjects to take at A Level. We will also sit down with you and talk<br />
through your options in detail at your one-to-one interview. At every stage, we’re here to<br />
listen, advise and support you in your choices.<br />
2. We will provide the best teaching<br />
Our teachers are friendly, experienced, and creative in delivery and real experts in their<br />
subjects. Above all, they’re committed to helping you get the grades you need for whatever<br />
you plan to do next. We are very proud that many of our students meet and exceed their<br />
target grades.<br />
3. We are your kind of people<br />
At Alperton Sixth Form, you’ll be with like-minded people who want to work hard, do well<br />
and get on in life. We’re a tight-knit community of around 350 students and you’ll fit right<br />
in with our high achieving ethos and aspirations.<br />
4. It’s tought at the top, not!<br />
We are consistently in the top 25% for progress of all schools and Colleges in England. Also,<br />
Oxford Analytics Research, an independent company has shown that three of our subjects<br />
at A Level are in the top 12 performing subjects in the country for progress for those<br />
subjects. That’s top 12, looking at more than 2500 institutions! That’s beyond fantastic!<br />
5. We support you with the next steps<br />
Whatever you hope to do after Sixth Form, our dedicated Sixth Form Team will help get<br />
you there. They specialise in UCAS coaching and preparation for university interviews – in<br />
2014 and 2015, more than 90% of our students went on to study at university. The team<br />
can also help you plan a gap year, go on to other types of study or find your first real job or<br />
apprenticeship.<br />
6. Teamwork makes the dream work!<br />
We have a dedicated team of tutors to support you during your transition and every week<br />
during mentoring. They know how to support Sixth Form students and they have been<br />
handpicked to be part of the Sixth Form team. This will ensure you get the best possible<br />
support at all times. We want your dreams to come true!<br />
7. Where everybody knows your name<br />
It’s always a bit overwhelming to start a new season somewhere else. Research has shown<br />
that students achieve best when they stay in their own school. This is because the teachers<br />
know you! They know how to support you and bring out the best in you! We are a Sixth<br />
Form that continues to inspire, continues to achieve and help you be the best you can<br />
possibly be!<br />
