Exhall Grange School is a special school located in Ash Green just outside Coventry in Warwickshire, England. The school meets the needs of children and young people age from 4 to 19 years with physical disability, visual impairment, complex medical needs, and social, communication and interaction difficulties.

Opened in 1951 as a school for visually impaired pupils, Exhall Grange was the first school to cater exclusively for partially sighted children. It later widened its remit to include pupils with other disabilities, and became a grammar school in 1960.

The school was a boarding school for many years, but significantly reduced its boarding facilities during the 1990s and 2000s as its role as a special school changed, and it is now a day school. In 2001 Exhall Grange began to share its campus with RNIB Pears Centre for Specialist Learning (then known as RNIB Rushton School and Children's Home), an RNIB school which relocated there from Northamptonshire. In 2018, the RNIB centre was closed by Ofsted after being rated inadequate, as well as being closed over claims of staff not being able to safeguard the children there properly. In May 2022, a new school called the Warwickshire Academy was built in its place. Zoe's Place Baby Hospice, a children's hospice also occupies part of the site. Exhall Grange was the first special school to be awarded science college status in 2003, and celebrated its Gold, Diamond & Platinum Jubilee years in 2001, 2011 and 2021 respectively.
