About Grove Academy
Grove Academy is the first all-through school to open in Slough and provides opportunity and education for 4 to 16 year olds, underpinned by high-quality teaching and learning and a common assessment framework. This continuity ensures that we can avoid the dips in performance associated with transition from one phase or school to another.
As one school we are able to teach subjects to our younger children via specialist subject teachers, such as modern foreign languages and PE. We can provide pastoral care for children in challenging circumstances by offering a ‘joined-up’ strategy and support families more consistently over a longer time.
Staff say - "I am proud to be a staff member at Grove"
Parents say - "We are really happy and proud that our child goes to Grove Academy"
Students say - "Grove has really kind teachers who care about their students"
Our Vision, Aims & Ethos:
Grove Academy is a school where every child can feel welcome, successful and included. We want our pupils to:
· Be responsible, fully active citizens who are kind to one another, ready to learn, know how to keep themselves safe and are proud of their achievements
· Develop the confidence to participate in decision making, and have a creative input across the three areas of family well-being, public service and contribution to the economy
· Engage in a curriculum which will encourage problem solving, critical reflection, research and challenge
· Leave school confident in their ability to succeed and able to successfully access the world of work or further/higher education
· Be able to learn new skills and engage in business markets that no one is yet able to define
· Be the future leaders of our society
· Recognise the importance of creativity and innovation to their future lives
