"This is a deeply shocking and distressing incident, and our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been injured, their families and the whole school community. No parent should ever have to fear for their child’s safety at school, and it is horrifying to think of how someone so young came to be in possession of a weapon capable of causing such harm.
"I want to thank the emergency services and school staff for their swift response. We will remain in close contact with the Metropolitan Police, and Brent Council will offer our full and unlimited support to the staff, pupils and families affected.”
Cllr Muhammed Butt, Leader of Brent Council.
