Our aim at Groveside is very simple: we want to equip every child with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to be successful in their future.
We recognise that for many of our pupils, their experience of education so far been difficult, which is why we think creatively about our approach to learning.
We look beyond any issues and barriers to learning and recognise the innate potential within each pupil. We invest time with each individual pupil to fully understand their learning needs and put the right support package in place.
Our expectations are very high for both behaviour and achievement, because we know we can help children make much more progress than they would within a mainstream school environment.
We pride ourselves on preparing our pupils for the next stage of their lives, not just academically but socially and emotionally. All of our pupils are encouraged to reach high standards in every aspect.
Our staff team are passionate about supporting our pupils, who will benefit from deep and nurturing relationships that will motivate, inspire and push them to succeed in ways they perhaps never thought possible.
Our Ethos
All pupils at Groveside School will have access to an education that is personalised and engaging and encompasses a purposeful and balanced curriculum.
Our staff team are passionate about providing a caring, structured learning environment in which all pupils can develop to their full potential.
We recognise the importance of truly understanding each young person as an individual, fostering the development of positive relationships and delivering the most effective support.
We recognise that success can take many forms and looks different for each individual, and it will be regularly celebrated. We have a commitment to high standards and a relentless drive to remove barriers that may have prevented pupils from engaging in education in
the past, developing a community with a shared sense of purpose.
