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.

Below are our statements of Mission, Vision, Values and Culture:

Our Federation Improvement Priorities 2026-2027

Our federation is committed to ensuring that every child receives an excellent education, feels safe and included, and has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. We are working together across both schools to strengthen leadership, improve outcomes, support staff and families, and ensure our schools remain sustainable for the future.

Our key priorities are:

1. Leadership and Governance

Develop a shared vision and strong leadership across our federation, strengthening governance, building staff expertise and ensuring that decisions are transparent, collaborative and focused on the best outcomes for children.

2. Achievement and Curriculum

Embed an ambitious, inclusive and engaging curriculum that enables every child to succeed. We will strengthen early language, phonics, reading, writing, mathematics and oracy, while developing creativity, digital literacy, citizenship and environmental awareness.

3. Inclusion and Equality of Opportunity

Ensure that all children, including those who are disadvantaged, have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), or are learning English as an additional language (EAL), receive the support they need to thrive. We will work to close attainment gaps and remove barriers to learning and participation.

4. Personal Development and Wellbeing

Develop confident, resilient, independent and respectful children through high-quality pastoral care, enrichment, outdoor learning and wider opportunities. We will strengthen pupil voice, celebrate achievements and ensure that every child can participate fully in school life.

5. Financial Sustainability and Resources

Manage our resources responsibly to secure the long-term future of both schools. We will make effective use of our shared expertise and services, plan staffing carefully, explore additional funding and income opportunities, and ensure that spending supports children's learning and wellbeing.

6. A Strong Federation Culture

Continue to build our positive and inclusive federation in which staff, pupils, parents and communities feel valued and connected. We will strengthen collaboration, share effective practice, listen to families and pupils, and create opportunities for everyone to contribute to our shared success.

Working together for every child

By working collaboratively, sharing expertise and making the best use of our collective resources, we aim to ensure that both schools continue to improve, every child has the opportunity to flourish, and our federation remains a valued part of the local community.
