About Temple Grove Academy
Temple Grove Academy is a 1 ½ FE primary academy in Tunbridge Wells with 270 pupils. It also benefits from having a nursery with up to 60 pupils. The academy opened in January 2013, and is the first academy to be sponsored by the Temple Grove Academy Trust. The academy serves the Sherwood Park community and enjoys easy access to transport links to London.
The academy has extensive grounds and has recently benefitted from £2m investment to improve the buildings, playgrounds and site security. We have also received £70,000 in donations which has enabled the academy to develop a state of the art outside learning environment for our EYFS, a new fit for purpose ICT suite and to open a much needed after school club.
The academy receives £30,000 in enrichment funds from the trust, and funding for sports which means the pupils benefit from a wide range of extra curriculum and sporting activities, to which they are transported in the academies own minibuses. The academy also receives funding to run a breakfast club.
There is no denying the determination and commitment shown by the academy’s leaders and its staff as they continue to develop the pupils learning with the high expectation of pace and progress, strongly supported by the local governing body and trustees.
