Construction is underway on a new public primary school, which the Minns Labor Government is delivering with co-located public early learning in Grantham Farm.
Located on the corner of Crown and Hamilton Streets, the new school and co-located public early learning are on track to open on Day 1 of Term 1 2028, giving local families access to quality public education and early learning close to home.
The new Grantham Farm Public School will cater for up to 500 students from Kindergarten to Year 6, with 24 modern classrooms, three support learning rooms, a multipurpose hall, covered outdoor learning area, library, canteen and outside of school hours care facilities.
The co-located public early learning centre will cater for up to 60 children per day, ensuring local families have access to high-quality, affordable early learning alongside the new primary school.
The project, which will take pressure off Schofields Public School, is part of the NSW Government’s long-term plan to meet growing demand across Sydney’s North-West with the site also master-planned for future expansion.
Construction of the new school will also deliver a boost to the NSW economy, with the project creating 204 local jobs.
Once the new school is complete, students and staff from the existing nearby Vineyard Public School will transition to the new Grantham Farm site. The move will support growing demand in the area and mitigate potential impacts on the existing Vineyard Public School from the future widening of Bandon Road by Transport for NSW.
The project is part of the Minns Labor Government’s record investment in public education, with $9.2 billion delivered in the 2026/27 Budget for school infrastructure over the next four years, including $4.1 billion for new and upgraded schools across Western Sydney.
Across Sydney’s North-West, 25 new and upgraded schools have recently been delivered or are underway, ensuring growing communities have the schools and facilities they need close to home.
The investment in school infrastructure is backed in by investment in teachers, with improved wages and conditions driving teacher vacancies to a 12-year low, ensuring more permanent teachers are in classrooms.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car said:
“Today we are getting on with the job of delivering a brand-new public school and co-located public early learning for one of Sydney’s fastest-growing communities.
“Families in Grantham Farm deserve modern, permanent education facilities close to home, and that is exactly what the Minns Labor Government is delivering.
“The Minns Labor Government’s record investment in new and upgraded public schools is not only delivering world-class facilities for families, it is helping support than NSW economy with more than 200 jobs created through construction of the new Grantham Farm Public School.
“This sod turn marks an important milestone for the local community and brings us one step closer to welcoming students through the gates in 2028.”
Member for Riverstone Warren Kirby said:
“Grantham Farm is growing rapidly and the Minns Labor Government is delivering the schools and services to keep pace with that growth.
“We came to government in 2023 promising three new schools in Riverstone, and now we’ve already started construction on a fourth.
“This new school and co-located public early learning will give local children access to modern facilities close to home, while also providing room to respond to future growth.
“I’m proud to see construction get underway and to be delivering this important project for families across Grantham Farm and the surrounding communities.”
Vineyard Public School Principal Kerry De Jager said:
“Today is an exciting milestone as we see the new Grantham Farm school begin to take shape.
“We look forward to working with families and the wider community as we prepare to transition to our new facilities in 2028.”
