Once again, Alperton Community School has produced an excellent set of results at GCSE.
The results for the most able students were exceptional in the new more demanding GCSEs with 21% of students achieving the highest grades (9-7) in English and 22% of students achieving the highest grades (9-7) in maths.
ACS students achieved 14 Grade 9 results in the new qualifications, putting them into the top 3% of results in the country. Students achieved 6 Grade 9 results in English and 8 Grade 9 results in maths. Two students achieved A* Distinction in the extremely challenging Additional Mathematics GCSE.
The progress students have made from their primary school is exceptional. In the last four years, the school has achieved a 24% increase in the percentage of students achieving A*-C equivalent in English; with progress in maths well above the national average. The percentage of students achieving good grades in English AND maths has increased from 46% to 60% – an increase of 14% since 2014.
In total the students achieved almost 400 A or A* grades at GCSE. Science performed particularly well with 30 A* grades with RS students achieving 19 A* grades.
