Grantham Farm Unveils New Primary School, Preschool

NSW Gov

The Minns Labor Government is delivering the education infrastructure needed for families in Sydney's growing North West, with designs for Grantham Farm's new public school and co-located preschool.

The designs are now available online here.

The new school and preschool will be co-located at the corner of Crown and Hamilton Street in Grantham Farm and are set to open Day 1 Term 1 2028, giving local families access to a world-class education close to home.

Grantham Farm's new public school will cater for 500 students, with 27 modern permanent classrooms including specialist support classes, a multipurpose hall, a covered outdoor learning area, and after school care facilities. The co-located public preschool will cater for 120 children per week.

Construction on both schools is expected to begin in late 2026, and the public school has been master planned for future growth.

As part of the long-term planning for growth and infrastructure development in the area, Vineyard Public School students and staff will transition to the new public school in Grantham Farm once it is built.

The new public school and co-located preschool are among the 24 new and upgraded schools being delivered across Sydney's North West, including:

  • Box Hill Public School and public preschool - new permanent schools

The former Liberal National Government left North West Sydney without the schools the region needed, failing to provide the education infrastructure required during its 12 years in office.

The Minns Labor Government is investing a record $9 billion in school infrastructure, including $3.9 billion for new and upgraded schools across Western Sydney, as we rebuild public education.

Our investment in Sydney's North West will lead to the removal of more than 160 demountables, replaced with more than 700 permanent modern classrooms.

In addition to building classrooms where they are needed, the Minns Labor Government is ensuring each classroom has a qualified teacher.

Since March 2023, the Minns Labor Government has reduced teacher vacancies by 61 per cent across the state, resulting in the number of cancelled classes in NSW nearly halving.

Acting Minister for Education and Early Learning Courtney Houssos said:

"We're continuing to deliver on our commitment to ensure every child has access to a high-quality education close to home.

"For over a decade, families in Grantham Farm were ignored by the former Liberal National Government as the suburb's population grew without a much-needed local public school.

"The Minns Labor Government, with work led by the Deputy Premier Prue Car, is rebuilding public education in NSW and delivering for families across the growing North West."

Member for Riverstone Warren Kirby said:

"This is an exciting milestone for our families in Grantham Farm and surrounding areas, who can now see the plans for their new school come to life.

"North West Sydney is one of NSW's fastest-growing regions, and this new school and co-located preschool will support local families for years to come.

"The Minns Labor Government is also putting more teachers at the front of classrooms in the Riverstone electorate, where there are 70 per cent fewer vacancies than at the same time in 2022."
