About Grove Road Primary School

Grove Road Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with a striking oversubscription ratio of 4.93 for its 30 Reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school received 148 total applications, with 38 listing it as their first preference, of which 28 were offered places. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation within the community, though it's worth noting that the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage in its data. Headteacher Grace Beckford leads a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision attached. The school operates at near full capacity with 234 pupils against a capacity of 236, and 22.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average and reflects a diverse intake.
