South Grove Primary School recognizes that our children and their families are at the heart of all we do. We passionately believe that every pupil is important and that we have a responsibility to ensure that all pupils achieve success and become the very best that they can be. Our key aim is to provide an innovative and successful school for our local community which not only raises standards for the pupils but also supports the parents, family members, and wider community in developing their skills and in the long-term development of the community.
We are very pleased to welcome you to South Grove Primary School. South Grove is a two-form entry primary school for children from 3-11. Our Nursery provides 40 part-time places both morning and afternoon (with some that can become full-time). Also, we have a Resourced Provision for 16 children with a diagnosis of Autism and Developmental Global Delay of which we are very proud. This allows children to be fully integrated into the life of the school and equally, access the specialist support that will enable them to develop and grow.
The school was built in 2005 and provides an attractive, well–resourced, modern setting within spacious grounds. The physical layout of the school encourages co-operation between staff and pupils with extensive use of common resources. We can provide a well-stocked library resource area with access to ICT facilities our large hall provides for assemblies and PE and we are lucky to have a Music Studio with a specialist Music teacher. A separate dining area allows for another teaching space before and after lunch.
Each classroom is well-equipped with an Interactive whiteboard and wireless connection allowing children to access the use of pads and laptops as well as visiting the ICT Suite. Our practical classroom allows for cookery, science, and art to be specifically taught in a specialist area. We have four separate playgrounds catering to the various age ranges of our school. The Key Stage Two playground has a generously sized playing field as well as a well-stocked garden and conservation area. The school’s specialist Additional Resourced Provision for Autism and Developmental Global Delay has designated classrooms within the school and access to its’ own soft play area and sensory room.
Our Vision is:
- Creative, inspired, and challenged (curriculum)
- Resourceful, resilient, and empowered to participate in our local and global communities (future)
- Included, valued, and safe (environment, inclusion, and diversity)
- Part of a learning family, communities growing together (Partnerships)
- Independent, enquiring, and reflective learners (learning, independence)
- Aspiring to be the very best that they can be.
