About The Grove Primary School

The Grove Primary School in Melton is a popular choice among local families, with every one of its 24 first-preference applicants in the 2025/26 admissions round receiving an offer. The school was oversubscribed overall, receiving 60 applications for those 24 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.5. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though no parent-view survey data is available to confirm satisfaction rates directly. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 5 to 11, with a current roll of 193 pupils against a capacity of 266, so there is some physical space remaining. Headteacher Hayley Cheeseman leads a school where 60.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure well above the national average, indicating a community with significant socioeconomic diversity.
