Grove Academy

Grove Academy is an all-through free school located in Slough, catering to students from Reception to Year 11. With a current enrolment of 1,090 pupils and a capacity of 1,940, the school is committed to providing high-quality education underpinned by a common assessment framework. This approach aims to ensure continuity in learning and mitigate performance dips commonly associated with school transitions. Grove Academy is part of the Slough and East Berkshire Multi Academy Trust (SEBMAT) since September 2023.

The school places a strong emphasis on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment. Recent initiatives include a focus on wellbeing during exam periods and community events such as the Ramadan Iftar, which encourages inclusivity and cultural awareness. Grove Academy also prioritises student feedback and parental involvement, ensuring that the educational experience is child-centred and responsive to the needs of families.

Grove Academy actively engages with the local community, exemplified by their contributions to the Slough Food Bank. The school regularly hosts events, including an open evening for prospective parents, providing opportunities for families to explore the school's ethos and curriculum.
