Schools in Brent, London

The Welsh Harp reservoir sits at the northern tip of Brent, a borough spanning west and north-west London where inner-city streets in the east give way to Metroland suburbs in the west.

Wembley draws families from across the capital. Anchored by its national stadium, it is among the most sought-after areas for school catchments in outer London, while Willesden has long been a school-competitive corner of the borough for parents targeting primary places. Dollis Hill and Queen's Park form the quieter residential middle ground between the two. Brent's population reached around 353,000 in 2024, and the Jubilee line from Wembley Park gives the borough direct access to central London, with Bakerloo services also running south to Baker Street and Marylebone.
