Children with special educational needs (SEND) in Brent are set to benefit from a groundbreaking £22 million school that will provide state-of-the-art education tailored to neurodiverse children.
Brent Council recently appointed construction company Reds10 to build Wembley Manor School, which is expected to open its doors in September 2025. The 150-place school will serve as a specialist institution for neurodivergent students, a much-needed addition to meet the growing demand for SEND provision in the borough.
Councillor Gwen Grahl, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People, and Schools, highlighted the significance of the school, saying, “Wembley Manor will be a much-needed school providing specialist SEND provision for neurodivergent children. With a 10% annual increase in the number of children needing Education, Health, and Care Plans, this facility will offer children the chance to be educated closer to home, ensuring better accessibility and stronger community networks.”
The school is part of Brent’s SEND capital investment programme, which aims to create more than 400 SEND places across the borough by 2025, significantly reducing the need to send children to schools outside the area and saving up to £6 million annually.
Wembley Manor School will be a three-storey, 3,801 m² facility on London Road, designed to meet the highest sustainability standards with a BREEAM Outstanding rating. The school will feature purpose-built SEND teaching spaces, play areas, sports facilities, and excellent transport access.
The innovative school building will be constructed offsite at Reds10’s East Yorkshire facility, then transported and assembled on site. This approach allows for high-quality, timely delivery of the school to benefit the local community and ensure optimal learning conditions for neurodivergent children.
