Enjoy, learn, achieve.
Grove school is an exciting place to learn. Children enjoy coming to school to work, play and achieve in a safe and welcoming environment.
Our enquiry based curriculum uses Handsworth and Birmingham as focal points to recognise and celebrate our cultural and religious diversity. We believe the education of every child must provide not only knowledge but also skills; our aim is to develop character, critical thinking and leadership skills in every child. We aim to find and nurture the talent of each as they journey through our school.
Our curriculum is enhanced with educational visits, visitors to school and residential visits in Years 4, 5 and 6.
Our work with parents and carers is vital to ensure every child learns and achieves. We value the contributions parents make in helping us understand their child and offer opportunities for parents to engage in and contribute to the life of the school. We provide parents and carers with regular information about the progress their child is making.
Education is not only what takes place in school but is about preparing children for life in the 21st century. Confident and successful children develop into adults who contribute positively to society. We have many former pupils who are now nurses, teachers, laywers and doctors. Many of our children are at university or are successful in business, some have followed careers in music and the visual arts.
Strong values underpin the work of the school; children talk confidently about the Grove Expectations and how they meet these in their daily lives.
