Schools in Wembley
Wembley in the London Borough of Brent has 20 schools - 14 primaries and Alperton Community School as the main secondary serving the area. Brent is one of London's most diverse boroughs, and competition for primary places in Wembley is intense; many oversubscribed primaries reached their last-offered distance at well under 0.5 miles in recent admission rounds.

For secondary, Brent families should note that applications for schools in neighbouring boroughs (Harrow, Ealing) require separate authority forms.
