From the Arden Grove Infant and Nursery School
On June 1st, 2013, Arden Grove Infant & Nursery School changed its name to Leading Edge Academy. The Governors decided whether to create an academy. Some schools are forced by the DfE to become academies but at Arden Grove we chose to do this, as we felt it was the right decision for our school and children. The Norfolk County Council no longer has responsibility over us as an academy, and the Government provides our financing directly. On December 6th, 2013, Arden Grove established an umbrella trust with Norwich Theatre Royal and Hellesdon High School. The Norfolk Schools and Theatre Royal Trust is responsible for this. This enhances our ability to provide for the arts at the school by bringing in new and exciting opportunities (music, dance, drama, and Art). Since the launch of this trust, a number of new parents have chosen our school because they appreciate and recognise the promotion of the arts as being a key determining factor to children achieving well academically. This trust is a clear statement of intent that we want the very best for children who start their education at Arden Grove and inevitably because of its excellent provision and ethos, want to finish their education at Hellesdon High School. If you want to learn more about our school or set up a visit, please get in touch with us. We hope you enjoy browsing our website and are looking forward to having you as a student at our school.
