Floreat Colindale Primary School will initially be based in temporary accommodation before moving into a new development in Edgware Road, which was formerly the Oriental City shopping centre.
It plans to move to its permanent base in 2018.
Managed by Floreat Education Academies Trust, the school will be available for up to two-form entry initially.
Janet Hilary, Floreat CEO, said: “We are very excited that Brent Council has been able to secure us such a fantastic site in Colindale.
“We hope that those parents who have already signed up to our school in Alperton and love what we do would consider joining us in Colindale.”
The trust was set up in 2013 by Lord O’Shaughnessy and opened two schools in Brentford and Wandsworth.
