Grove Road is an 'outstanding' school in the heart of Harrogate!

We enjoy many successes: we are proud of our awards and the frequent recognition of our achievements, but even prouder of the daily achievements in school, such as individual pupils learning new skills and showing ever-growing confidence in their own abilities.

Our awards page is an ideal place to find out about some of these significant awards, but a visit to the school is also well worth it – you will gain first hand experience about just what makes Grove Road so special.

Grove Road is a well-established school with a long and lively history. This helps to make it so integral to the local community. However, even more important is its commitment to its people – everybody involved in our school has a part to play in making it such a wonderful place to be.

All of the staff at Grove Road work hard to meet the needs of all children - we are a very inclusive school. We are an Enhanced Mainstream School, this means that our staff team is supplemented by highly specialised and skilled professionals who support children in Harrogate who have behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. Additionally we are a Minority Ethnic Achievement Hub School so our staff includes specialists who support children from Gypsy Roamer Traveller backgrounds and families for whom English is an additional language.

At the heart of our school lies its ethos. We value relationships and equality for all, we place great value in high standards, we are positive and enthusiastic, we think about the choices we make, and throughout all of this we work closely together. All in all, this adds up to our RESPECT Code!
