Funded by Brent Council and delivered by Reds10 and managed by The Rise Partnership Trust, the £22 million school has created 150 specialist places for secondary-aged children. The school first welcomed pupils in September.
Joe Shepherd, managing director of public sector at Reds10, said: “The completion of Wembley Manor School is a major step forward for Brent, providing much-needed local SEND capacity and reducing the need for pupils to travel out of borough.
“From early design through to the installation of 121 modular units, the focus has been on delivering a practical, high-quality learning environment that works for both pupils and staff. We are proud to have delivered a modern, sustainable school that responds directly to local need and supports Brent’s long-term SEND strategy.”
The three-storey building was designed to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. It features classrooms and specialist spaces.
