Beyond the Classroom
Opportunities Beyond the Classroom
Inspiring learning, confidence and curiosity at every age
At Grove Primary School we believe education happens everywhere — not just in the classroom. Our pupils benefit from a rich programme of clubs, trips, performances and community activities that spark curiosity, build skills and create lasting memories.
Clubs and Enrichment
We offer a wide range of after-school and lunchtime clubs that change each term to reflect pupils’ interests. From gardening and forest school activities to coding, chess and book clubs, every child can find somewhere to follow a passion or try something new. Our clubs:
- Encourage teamwork and resilience
- Develop practical and creative skills
- Provide leadership opportunities for older pupils
Sports
Sport is a big part of school life. Regular PE lessons are complemented by extra-curricular sports including football, netball, athletics and multi-skill sessions. Pupils have the chance to represent the school at friendly fixtures and inter-school competitions, promoting fitness, fair play and pride in personal improvement.
Outdoor Learning
Forest School
At Grove Primary School and Nursery we are explorers!
We want our pupils to love the outdoors. We want them to have no limits to what their ambitions are and grow up wanting to be gardeners, architects, tree surgeons, woodland workers, or environmental officers! We want them to embody our core values and show care and respect for the environment. We want them to take enjoyment from being in the outside world.
We all believe that we can: “Bring Out the Best in Everyone”.
Our Forest School sessions are carefully crafted so that our children develop their outdoor capital. We want our children to remember their outdoor learning sessions in our school, to cherish these memories and embrace the opportunities they are presented with!
"Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees.
Forest School is a specialised learning approach that sits within and complements the wider context of outdoor and woodland education" (Forest School Association)
