About The Grove Primary School

If you’re comparing primary schools in Wiltshire, The Grove Primary School’s most recent Ofsted inspection (a graded visit in 2015, with a follow-up ungraded inspection in 2018 that confirmed it remains Good) puts it in the majority of local primaries — the local authority has 201 primary schools, of which only six are rated Outstanding. That means a Good rating here is solidly above average for the area, not a standout but a reliable, well-regarded choice. The school has improved significantly from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was rated Requires Improvement across both overall effectiveness and leadership and management. Under headteacher Stuart Woodburn, the school now holds Good grades for leadership, early years provision, and overall effectiveness. With 396 pupils against a capacity of 420, it’s nearly full but not bursting, and its 18.9 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is a touch above the national average, reflecting a broadly mixed intake.
