Annual Review of Teaching, Brent Schools Partnership, April 2018

Welcome Wembley High Technology College is one of the highest performing schools in the country and we have been the highest achieving non-denominational school in Brent for many years. Nationally, the achievement of our pupils is exceptional; in 2017, our Progress 8 score of +1.65 has been recognised as the 2nd highest in the country by the Department for Education.

Wembley High is, first and foremost, an outstanding learning community where academic excellence sits alongside the breadth of education. We believe in providing a structured and disciplined working environment in which all pupils can achieve their full potential.

There is a very high standard of teaching across the school which, coupled with the strong work ethic, allows our pupils to flourish. Our broad, balanced and innovative curriculum is designed to stretch and challenge pupils to reach their goals, and there is a particular focus on English, maths and the sciences.

All students benefit from the use of state-of-the-art facilities across the school and major investment in new facilities and resources, the best trained and qualified staff, and a culture of mutual respect.

Spiritual, moral, social and cultural education sits alongside academic excellence at the heart of the school’s ethos. We offer a broad and ever-expanding range of extra-curricular activities to deepen and enhance learning, and provide an education that enables our students to gain places at the most prestigious universities across the country.

We are very proud of the achievements of our pupils and to serve the local community. Throughout this prospectus, you will find further details of this success and why we believe Wembley High is a truly outstanding school for all pupils.

Ensuring the Best Start We have a Wembley High way of doing things that works.

We enable students and parents to make a smooth transition which is enjoyable and successful. We operate a setting policy and pupils are placed in specially tailored groups to ensure that every child makes maximum progress.

Parents can track their child’s attendance, behaviour and achievements online.

A dedicated Year Leader is available to make sure pupils settle in quickly, understand the routines and expectations and begin achieving academic excellence. Our behaviour policies are firm and we expect parents to support our high standards of uniform, behaviour and academic excellence.

“School leaders are knowledgeable about the latest safeguarding requirements and the potential risks to their pupils. Systems to keep pupils safe are embedded throughout the school. Leaders are meticulous in their monitoring of pupils’ safety and well-being.”

Pupils from KS3 through to KS5 also take part in visits to universities in order to develop them further into well-rounded high-achieving mathematicians.
