Services

The A level Performance System (Alps) combines analysis of students A level and AS level results with follow-up training in schools and colleges. We offer a bespoke service and can tailor a project to individual needs. The goal is to improve student achievement and to enhance teaching and learning on a national scale.

An Alps project typically consists of the following

  1. Alps report based on analysis of data
  2. Bespoke training
  3. Follow-up support and advice

The services are offered to all schools individually or as part of a regional project set up by a Local Authority (LA) or Learning and Skills Council (LSC).

The Alps Reports

The Alps A level report is a statistical analysis of an institution's A level results and shows a school or college how it is performing against a national benchmark. The report shows an institution where its strengths and weaknesses are and can then be used as a tool for improvement.

The Alps AS level report is a statistical analysis of an institution's AS level results in a similar format to the A level report.

  • Leadership: Using Alps strategically
  • Target Setting, Monitoring, Guidance and Support
  • Teaching and Learning

All courses are led by experienced senior staff of education providers that have used Alps systems successfully.
