The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has celebrated the exceptional performance of Wembley High Technology College as part of his Schools for Success programme. The school has been honoured for its commitment to reducing educational inequality and attaining exceptional results for children previously struggling academically. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I’d like to congratulate the staff of Wembley High Technology College for their exceptional work. We created Schools for Success to recognise the positive impact that teachers, headteachers, teaching assistants, support staff and governors are making every day to support students and reduce inequalities, and this school’s commitment to being supportive and inclusive sets a great example. Covid-19 has presented unforeseen challenges across our city but Wembley High Technology College has done a fantastic job in maintaining excellence during a very difficult time. Working together we can make sure that no young Londoner is left behind” Created in 2017, the Schools for Success programme was formed to enhance the support given to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. The programme acknowledges primary and secondary schools that prioritise progress for their lowest attaining pupils, are excelling in their performance overall and sharing their work with other schools through a series of webinars made available to all London schools.
