About The Grosvenor Park Church of England Academy

The Grosvenor Park Church of England Academy is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 71 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.63. Of those, 21 families put it as their first preference, and 20 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, and while the school doesn't publish a formal parent-view survey, the application figures speak for themselves. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 196 children against a capacity of 210. Headteacher Karen Rodgers leads a school that has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least its 2015 inspection, and its most recent graded inspection in January 2023 confirmed that rating across every category, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision.
