Alperton Community School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form with academy status, located in the Alperton area of the London Borough of Brent, England. It has approximately 1200 students.

It is divided into two buildings; One on Ealing Road, near Alperton Station, and another one on Stanley Avenue. The Ealing Road site is known as the lower school site (consisting of Years 7, 8 and 9), and the Stanley Avenue site is known as the upper school (consisting of Years 10, 11, 12 and 13).

In June 2011, the school was deemed "Outstanding" in an Ofsted inspection report. The school converted to academy status in September 2012.

History

Alperton Hall a mansion was purchased for a school to support the educational needs of the growing industrial town and opened in 1922 with the overseeing headmaster Mr Edmund Lightley.[1] In 1938 the school adopted the name Wembley County School and the original mansion was demolished to allow for a new appropriate site to be built.

A separate school on the Ealing Site named Alperton County Mixed School developed in 1948 from a previous local school on Danethorpe Road which in 1957 was split into Alperton Boys and Alperton Girls.[2]

Three schools, Wembley County Grammar, Alperton Boys, and Alperton Girls, were amalgamated as to form Alperton High School in 1967. [3]

Through the Local Management of Schools (LMS) initiative the school took control over its own finances and in 1992 was renamed Alperton Community School.
