Assistant Head

The Federation of Westminster Special Schools and Bi borough Inclusion Service is made up of two all age 4-19 special schools; College Park School and Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee School, which is complimented by the Bi borough Inclusion Service. Together we are an aspirational learning community, and we embrace and respect the diversity and uniqueness of our inner/central London communities.

Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee School specialises in the education of Children and Young People (CYP) with severe or complex or profound and multiple learning difficulties where the majority of CYP are not engaged in subject specific learning.

We are also supported by Kennet West Skills Centre on the QEII site, in partnership with Westminster Kingsway College, which provides vocationally focused education for young people at post-16 and 19.

The Federation was created in January 2012 between the two special schools, and during that time, we have developed our Bi-borough Inclusion Service (previously known as Training and Outreach) and expanded its service to Kensington and Chelsea, offering training, advice and support to mainstream schools.

Together, the Federation aims to provide high quality specialist provision for children and young people aged 4 – 19, as well as offering unique opportunities for professional development to a wide range of interested parties. The highly specialised work of the Federation is accomplished through the dedication, skill and flexibility of a very committed staff team. We are passionate about ensuring all our children and young people receive the best opportunities we can provide. We are also committed to helping them achieve their best in terms of their learning, independence and confidence and to support and prepare them for the next step in their education and for adult life. We do this in partnership with the many professionals and other organisations that we work with but, most importantly, we aim to work in close partnership with parents and carers who know their children best.

Our Mission:

We are committed to transforming lives of children and young people with SEND in our communities and beyond, through the delivery of innovative specialist education. We strive to deliver a personalised and meaningful curriculum so that our pupils build cultural capital and are equipped to transition to their next stage in life with the confidence, skills and knowledge they need to thrive, as healthy and engaged individuals to achieve success, and prepare them well for adulthood.
