Formerly called East Lane County Secondary school since 1934, then Wembley High School from 1979, Wembley High Technology College was established in 2003 and is a popular and heavily oversubscribed secondary school[citation needed]. Tom Best is the current headteacher.[1] Wembley High was assessed as 'Outstanding' by Ofsted[2] and has achieved one of the top results in Brent [citation needed]. The Chair of Governors is Mr Alan McDougall, and the school's ward is located at Northwick Park.
The college has recently improved facilities, adding a new science block, maths block, 6th form block, several astroturf pitches, and a new hall. The school converted to academy status in August 2012 and joined Wembley Multi-Academy Trust in 2016.
