Welcome to Grosvenor Road Primary School
I am delighted to welcome you to Grosvenor Road Primary School's website. As a large Primary School, we actively encourage the involvement of parents and members of our community in school life. The success of each child's education is important to us whatever their ability. We pride ourselves on being a happy, secure and forward-looking school totally committed to ensuring the highest possible achievements for all our children.
Whether you are a prospective parent or have children already at the school, you can be assured that all staff involved with your children are committed to providing a high quality education.
Throughout our school there is an ethos of high expectation, respect and a drive for children to be the best learners they can be. Our children's behaviour is exemplary; they are well mannered and polite and this contributes to the calm and purposeful atmosphere around school.
I would be delighted to personally meet with you and to take you around the school to see for yourself the quality of provision we offer. I look forward to meeting with you at some point.
Your views are always welcomed and you can do this by visiting http://www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/ where you will be able to complete a very short questionnaire.

Red Nose Day at Grosvenor Road
Friday 19th March 2021
On Friday, we had a great Red Nose Day and managed to raise the fantastic total of £390.00 for Comic Relief. Thank you everyone for your non-uniform donations!
Please see our BLOG for photos of some of the activities we enjoyed during the day.
Virtual Library
Wednesday 3rd March 2021
Visit our Virtual Library, where you can listen to great stories!
The videos in our Virtual Library enable our children to hear books read aloud and this is one of the most important activities for reading success. It provides children with a demonstration of phrased, fluent reading and develops the listener's interest in books and desire to be a reader.
Children's Mental Health Week
Friday 5th February 2021
On Friday, all children in school and at home joined together to take part in a special project, which aimed to bring our school community even closer together.
Mr Pridden asked all children to complete one special task - to create a piece of artwork / write a message / write a letter to their friends. Every child will receive one of these at the beginning of next week.
Following this task, all children were then asked to SWITCH OFF all screens in order to complete special off-screen activities.
Well done to everybody! Some of your messages and photographs of your activities will be available to view on our school blog HERE from Monday 8th February.
Remember: Continue to 'Be the best you can be' in all that you do, keep safe and keep smiling!
