1 story · 1 council

Hillingdon Council has approved a new school to replace Grangewood School, pending DfE approval for its closure.

Hillingdon Council's cabinet agreed in November 2025 to grant a 125-year lease to the Eden Academy Trust for the new Pinn River School. This decision is subject to Department for Education (DfE) approval for the formal closure of Grangewood School, which is an existing school within the Trust.

The Pinn River School is planned to provide 180 places for children with severe and profound disabilities, replacing Grangewood School. Councillor Jonathan Bianco, Deputy Leader of the Council, described the new school as a much-needed facility. No further meetings are currently scheduled on this topic.
