"Fantastic school for our child"

We've been at Grove Lea Primary for 2 years now and it's been an absolute pleasure. The staff are so supportive and the 'If it is to be, it is up to me' motto really resonates with us. Our child loves the after-school clubs too, especially the art club.

"Mixed feelings about Grove Lea"

We're a bit torn about our experience at Grove Lea Primary. On the one hand, the staff are friendly and the 'know more and remember more' approach is great. On the other hand, the school can be a bit disorganized at times, especially with the Arbor Trust system.

"Excellent education and facilities"

We have a child who's now at secondary school, but we're still in touch with the Grove Lea community. The executive headteacher, Mrs Henshall, is incredibly dedicated and the facilities are really impressive. Our child was always motivated to learn thanks to the school's ethos.
