Alexandra Park School is a thriving and dynamic comprehensive school which boasts excellent examination results and an outstanding curriculum experience in both the main school and the sixth form. The school is situated on a beautiful five-acre site adjacent to Durnsford Park within sight of Alexandra Palace. Now entering our tenth year since opening the school has expanded to meet growing demand for places.

Alexandra Park is proud to be a true comprehensive school. Ours is a rich and diverse community with a culture of learning at its heart. Our school motto is “Success for all” and everything we do is planned to enable us to achieve this vision. At APS students will discover a supportive and friendly environment. High standards of discipline and behaviour are expected and maintained thus ensuring a safe, structured working environment where every individual is encouraged to strive for excellence. Our objective is to foster confident and responsible citizens who are prepared to meet the challenges of life.

Our students study a predominantly traditional curriculum with a focus on the core subjects of English, Maths and Science. Our students achieve extremely well academically at the end of Key Stage 4. This year 72% of our students gained 5 or more A* - C grades at GCSE and with the more important measure of 5A*-C with English and Maths the pass rate is 62%. We ensure our students make excellent progress from when they arrive in Year 7 and have repeatedly achieved outstanding attainment and value-added, putting the school in the top 5% nationally. The English and Maths departments’ performance ranks them both in the top 1% nationwide.

The sixth form was established 6 years ago and is heavily over-subscribed. In 2009 students achieved 100% pass rate with 71% of students achieving A*-C and 45% achieving A-B grades.
