About ALPS

The A Level Performance System (ALPS) measures the distance travelled by students from their GCSE grades at school to their final A level grades.  These ‘value added’ scores are the best way to compare student achievements in schools and colleges.  The ALPS data shows that Brighouse High Sixth Form students consistently improve whilst studying with us giving them a great start to a successful future!

The ALPS grading system is graded from 1-9 to show performance against national benchmarks.  The simple 3-colour coding system (red, black, blue) shows performance against national benchmarks by colour.
