We are extremely proud to welcome you to our Sixth Form. Alperton Community School is an inclusive, comprehensive school with a student intake that reflects a wonderfully diverse and vibrant local community. We are a large, mixed, 11-18 academy with over 300 students in our sixth form.
Our post-16 education has had some outstanding successes in the last few years and the progress made by our A- level students is significantly above the national and local averages. We achieve outstanding results in many subjects, but particularly in Mathematics, ICT, Computing and the Sciences.
Broad Curriculum
We are successful because we are able to offer a very broad curriculum: everything from Physics to Photography. Our curriculum covers A Level, Level 2 courses and a Level 1 offer – we have something for students of all abilities. We have a truly inclusive sixth form offer with vocational courses providing one day a week of work experience.
Personal development and Enrichment
We have many opportunities for students to develop their personal and social skills. All students in the Sixth Form take part in Prefect Duties which can be as varied as reading with Year 6 students in a Primary School to helping to improve the school environment. We also have a rich and wide-ranging enrichment programme which includes the EPQ qualifcation, Sports Leaders Award, Arts Award and the annual residential opportunities available abroad or within the UK. The Sixth Form provides outstanding support for students who wish to apply to University through UCAS, culminating in practice interviews with real staff from top Russell Group Universities. Recently students have been successful in their applications to Cambridge, Imperial College, UCL and the London School of Economics (LSE).
Volunteering Opportunities
The Alperton sixth form also offers the opportunity to take part in a wide range of volunteering and fund-raising opportunities. The most prestigious roles in the Sixth Form are Head Boy and Head Girl, which involves representing the school at key events in the community and advocating student voice on behalf of the entire student body. As a school, we also lead the way with Digital Technologies. All students have access to tablet PCs, which can revolutionise the way learning takes place in the classroom. We also offer a number of students a Bursary to attend our Sixth Form. Of course, Sixth Form students are very fortunate in having their own building which has a large computer suite, access to laptops and a Study Centre. We are a very welcoming school to students who join us in the Sixth Form from other institutions. These students constantly tell us how quickly they are made to feel at home. They are respected and cared for in the same way as students who have been with us for fve years. We are extremely proud of our Sixth Form and the results achieved by our students and our teachers.
We put you first
It’s your life, your future, so we’ll help you put together a programme of study that gets you where you want to go. You can use our open evenings, our bridging week in the Summer Term to look at what subjects to take at A Level.
We will also sit down with you and talk through your options in detail at your one-to-one interview. At every stage, we’re here to listen, advise and support you in your choices.
We will provide the best teaching
Our teachers are friendly, experienced, and creative in delivery and real experts in their subjects.
Above all, they’re committed to helping you get the grades you need for whatever you plan to do next. We are very proud that many of our students meet and exceed their target grades.
It’s tough at the top, not!
We are consistently in the top 25% for progress of all schools and colleges in England. Also, Oxford Analytics Research, an independent company has shown that three of our subjects at A Level are in the top 12 performing subjects in the country for progress for those subjects. That’s top 12, looking at more than 2500 institutions! That’s beyond fantastic!
We support you with the next steps
Whatever you hope to do after sixth form, our dedicated Sixth Form Team will help to get you there.
They specialise in UCAS coaching and preparation for university interviews – in 2014 and 2015, more than 90% of our students went on to study at university. The team can also help you plan a gap year, go on to other types of study or find your first real job or apprenticeship.
Teamwork makes the dream work!
We have a dedicated team of tutors to support you during your transition and every week during mentoring.
They know how to support Sixth Form students and they have been handpicked to be part of the Sixth Form Team. This will ensure that you get the best possible support at all times. We want your dreams to come true!
Where everybody knows your name
It’s always a bit overwhelming to start a new season somewhere else. Research has shown that students achieve best when they stay in their own school.
This is because the teachers know you! They know how to support you and bring out the best in you! We are a Sixth Form that continues to inspire, continues to achieve and help you be the best you can possibly be!
We are your kind of people
At Alperton Sixth Form, you’ll be with like-minded people who want to work hard, do well and get on in life.
We’re a tight-knit community of around 350 students and you’ll fit right in with our high achieving ethos and aspirations.
HEAD BOY - COREY DATE
STUDYING: Maths, Economics, Geography
Since joining Alperton Community School in September 2015, my experiences here and commitment to learning have only improved.
Alperton Community School has inspired a love for learning, especially because the lessons always piqued my curiosity. Over the last 5 years I have matured into a well-rounded person who can truly represent the student body.
At Alperton, our motto is ‘Aspire,Commit,Succeed’; as a member of the student leadership team, I will aspire to encourage students in becoming committed to their personal development so that they achieve their highest potential.
As member of the Student Leadership Team I have begun to lead a student mentoring programme, where students across the school can support each other develop strategies to enhance their wellbeing.
DEPUTY HEAD BOY - ALFIE DAVIES
STUDYING: Politics, Economics, Maths and Further Maths
Despite joining Alperton Community School only in Year 9, I was quickly welcomed by the friendly faces across the school. Simple things like this make the school into the community that it is. The atmosphere is perfect for learning and personal development. Since moving to this school I have been able to mature in character and grow my knowledge beyond what I thought was possible.
As part of the Student Leadership Team, I want to give back to the community that gave so much to me. I wish to further enhance the learning environment and student experience.
I pride myself on being an affable and good-natured student who will focus on the School Environment and Sustainability.
ASSISTANT DEPUTY HEAD BOY - ALI SALIMAN
STUDYING: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths
Over the many years of education at Alperton Community School, I have been able to develop and demonstrate exceptional leadership and teamwork skills across the school.
I have seen Alperton Community School grow and gain global recognition, yet not once has the school forgotten about its roots, continuing to be the welcoming haven and community it has always been.
I am currently part of the Duke of Edinburgh leadership team where I manage projects involving students from Year 7 - 11. As part of the Student Leadership team, I will be leading projects that focus on the academic development of the curriculum and help students develop greater confidence in their learning.
As an easily approachable and understanding individual, I am open to receiving student feedback so that these projects are tailored to the needs of the students, across different key stages and subjects.
ASSISTANT DEPUTY HEAD BOY - KUNDAN MAHITKUMAR
STUDYING: Chemistry, Maths, Physics
Alperton Community School is made up of a large community of students with different stories and aspirations and I am honoured to be part of such a wonderful community.
Having studied in the nurturing environment that Alperton Community School has been providing since Year 7, I have been able to access many different opportunities that have allowed me to develop a range of skills that will support me throughout my future studies.
As part of the student leadership team, I aspire to use my leadership skills to organise projects which will enable students to develop their personal and academic profile so that they can become aspiring leaders and achieve their goals.
HEAD GIRL - NABIHA SHAIKH
STUDYING: Biology, Chemistry and Maths
I have been a student here at Alperton Community School since year 7 and I could not be more grateful for the support I have received. Being a student here has taught me so much about the amazingly diverse community we live in, and enabled me to make friends from many different backgrounds.
I believe that Alperton really gives us an opportunity to excel and succeed, by providing us with encouragement and a vast array of opportunities, such as the Jack Petchey’s Speak Out Challenge, the EPQ and leadership opportunities.
As Head Girl I am interested in developing student engagement in these opportunities across the school community. I aim to begin this using student feedback to ensure this project is tailored to the interests of the students. As an approachable and friendly individual I look forward to supporting students across the school and sharing my own experiences.
DEPUTY HEAD GIRL - ADELINA CIOBANU

Becoming a student at Alperton Community School has enabled me to expand my academic knowledge whilst also developing as an individual within the incredibly diverse and supportive community of students from across the world.
As Deputy Head Girl I am excited to be leading on the area of sustainability, which is extremely important for all of us and our planet. No matter how independent and unique we all are, our planet unites us and we have a responsibility to give back and maintain a clean, positive and welcoming environment.

DEPUTY HEAD GIRL - SHAMINY PASKARALINGAM
Studying: Biology, Chemistry, Maths
I have been studying at Alperton Community School for nearly 6 years and the numerous opportunities made available by the school have helped me and other students grow academically and individually and helped pave our way into young adulthood.
I and many of my peers have gained confidence in becoming great leaders, thanks to the experiences and activities we have been taking part in at this school. This is one of the many reasons I feel honoured to be able to give back to the school and its community by being in the student leadership team.
The area of leadership that I will be working on is ‘student wellbeing and attitudes’ . My focus will be on the personal development of the students. In this role, I aim to organise opportunities for students to improve their confidence and develop a strong social support network with their peers.
ASSISTANT DEPUTY HEAD GIRL - SONDOS AL-JUNDI
Studying: Biology, Chemistry, Maths
Alperton Community School has provided me with an exceptional experience by creating a unique community made up of people from all over the world, each with their own individual interests, beliefs, and skills.
The teachers also form an essential part of this community, as they are extremely supportive and inspiring and they encourage us to perform to the best of our abilities and go beyond our comfort zones in every aspect. Their hard work has been recognized on many occasions; our school was nominated for the TES Secondary School of the Year Award and in 2018 we won the Varkey Foundation ‘World’s Best Teacher’ Award. These achievements make us feel proud and encourage us to continue to support our community in the future.
Being a part of the Leadership Team is an amazing opportunity for me to develop new skills and gain experience by working with senior leaders of the school to develop greater opportunities for student engagement in school and wider extracurricular activities to create a community ethos.
