Kneller Hall School to Open in 2027
Dukes Education is delighted that the planning application has been approved to redevelop Kneller Hall into a premium site for what will be the largest campus of any senior school in South West London. Kneller Hall is Dukes Education’s first UK purpose-built school.
It will also be the new home of Radnor House Twickenham. New facilities for sport, performing arts and outdoor learning will offer opportunities for students to pursue their interests and develop their skills, while new science laboratories, design and technology classrooms, Forest School and Nature Reserve will add breadth and depth to the pupils’ day-to-day experience.
Over half the campus is designated as Metropolitan Open Land, which means it must be retained as green space for the pupils to explore and enjoy.
