Wembley Schools Federation

Designed by Aayan Navinchandra for The Wembley Schools Federation Website Logo Completed 11.07.2024

(Aayan, a Year 6 pupil, at Wembley Primary School, won the competition for designing a new Federation logo.  There were 84 entries from across both schools. The school councils, from each school, worked together, over several meetings, before choosing this winner.)

 

 

The Wembley Schools Federation includes Wembley Primary School and Lyon Park Primary School. Both schools are four forms of entry and federated in 2020. Although the schools are approximately 2 miles apart, working together for all our children and families is frequently facilitated for the following benefits:

 

  • A foundation of sustainable long-term development and improvement through mutual support

  • Generating opportunities to work together and reduce isolation

  • Greater consistency of effective teaching practices

  • Shared expertise that guarantees excellent experiences and opportunities for pupils and staff

  • Avoiding duplication of effort by collaboration

  • Collaborative leadership opportunities providing additional leadership capacity supporting the development of future leaders

  • Enhanced retention of staff

  • Greater purchasing power, created by the economies of scale and hence increased value for money.
