The Grove Primary School

The Grove is an all through primary school with excellent facilities for pupils from the ages of five to eleven. We cater for a wide range of abilities through our careful planning and delivery of the curriculum and our children are happy, hardworking and keen to do well.

The Grove offers the opportunity for children to remain in a family atmosphere across both phases of their primary education. The staff are friendly,caring and committed professionals who work very hard to provide the best possible opportunities for all pupils. Teachers and support staff work together to promote continuity between the year groups and Key Stages and this ensures an easy transition between infants and juniors without the need to change school.
