From the Grove Primary School
Grove Primary School's staff, governors, and students would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your family. At Grove Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that every child receives instruction of the highest calibre, advances academically, and realises their full potential. Westwood Primary School collaborates with Grove Primary School. I split my time between the two schools where I serve as executive headteacher. In my absence, the Deputy Headteachers are in charge of both schools. Other leadership, teaching, and support staff positions are also shared across the two schools. Together, the schools pursue greatness, work tirelessly to develop their institutions, and gain from a common culture and set of procedures. All students are provided with a top-notch education at both institutions. Our goal is to create a nurturing, safe, interesting, and fascinating learning environment. Parents and carers are extremely important to us, and we are eager to collaborate with you.
