ALPERTON Community School is celebrating success as one of the top five most improved specialist schools in the country.

Schools that achieved the greatest improvement in their GCSE results were recognised at an awards ceremony in London held by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust last month.

Alperton's award was in the Maths and Computing category.

Chris Montacute, strategic director of performance at partnership networks, said: “Congratulations to these specialist schools and academies, which are improving GCSE results and transforming the lives of their students.

"It is through collaboration with each other, universities, businesses and with the wider local community that schools will deliver year on year improvements so that every young person, whatever their background or location, is given the opportunity to succeed.”
