Grove Primary School
About Grove Primary School
Grove Primary School in Malvern Hills is a mixed state primary for ages 2 to 11, currently led by headteacher Alice Guest. With a school capacity of 390, the pupil count against that figure is not provided, but the school does offer nursery provision, suggesting it serves families from the earliest years. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is not stated in the data, so it cannot be compared to local or national averages. However, the school’s religious character is listed as ‘Does not apply’, meaning it is a community school without a faith designation. There is no admission information in the data to indicate whether the school is oversubscribed or how demand compares to capacity, so the signal on popularity is unclear. What is clear is that Grove Primary’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Inadequate overall, a significant drop from its previous Good rating in 2016, which will be a key consideration for parents weighing their options.
