Afterschool Activity Clubs
We offer a wide range of afters school activity clubs here at The Grove Primary School. More information about the clubs we offer can be found on the School Clubs page.
Collecting Children
The playground gates will be opened at 2:55 pm and parents are invited to wait in the school playground to collect children. Children are dismissed from class at 3.15pm and should be collected from the playground, at the end of the day, unless written permission has been given for them to walk home independently, (Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 only). Children attending after school clubs should be collected from the school playground at the end of the club at 4pm. Any child(ren) staying until 4.30pm can be collected via the main office door. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school office. If arrangements change we ask that you contact school immediately.
School Car Park
The school car park is available for visitors and staff use.
Currently, parents collecting children can park at peak times outside the main gates on the Red paved areas. For the safety of all of our children and families, we ask all Parents/Guardians to be respectful of the local residents and not to obstruct the school gates or to park on the yellow zig-zag lines.
Parent Voice
Here at The Grove Primary School, we value our parents voice and we are always looking to how we can develop as a school. We would appreciate it if you could take a few moments to complete a short parent questionnaire.
All responses are collected anonymously we do not collect or store any personal information or contact details. Should you have any personal queries please contact the school office.
