Grove
Primary School is situated in the block of land bounded by
Stanley Grove, Rushford Road and Parry Road. The building dates back to
1903 but the present school was formed in January 1998 following the
amalgamation of the existing Infant and Junior schools.
Most of the pupils live in the terraced houses which surround the school. The area has been the subject of a number of regeneration initiatives. The school has places for 60 nursery children, 68 children in reception, 138 infant children and 272 juniors.
Until recently two of the classes were accommodated in dilapidated, prefabricated buildings. However, in September of 2001, 3 new classrooms were opened at Stanley Grove and the "Horsa" huts were demolished. Two of the new classrooms were created on the upper storey of the main school building. They are being used as junior classrooms and are well equipped and furnished with sinks and a stockroom area in each.
The
third
new classroom is being used by the infants. It is housed in a
self-contained unit away from the main school building and has its own
toilets, cloakroom, and medical room. The classroom also features a
wet-play and art activity area and a reading corner. |
