A school for at-risk teens founded by Pink Floyd in the early 1970s is about to close, after losing funding from its local council.
London’s Schoolhouse Education was started with help from the band, which raised £1,000 for it at a 1972 Oxfam gig at Wembley Empire Pool.
The school’s Lewisham site will close due to declining enrollment and budget cuts. Its Greenwich facility will remain open.
Headteacher Lynda Smith told the News of the World the school “would not exist if it wasn’t for Pink Floyd.”
