About Grovelands Primary School

Grovelands Primary School sits slightly above the Surrey local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 69% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, compared with the LA average of 66%. That three-point gap is modest but meaningful, particularly given the school’s intake profile: 30. 3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national primary average, which suggests the school is adding genuine value. In the Elmbridge borough ranking, Grovelands places 14th out of 21 primary schools on this same metric, putting it in the middle tier locally. Nationally, it sits in the 33rd percentile among all primary schools, and in the South East region it ranks 642nd out of 2,034. These are solid, not spectacular, figures — the school is performing reliably above the local norm without breaking into the top tier.
