Welcome to Grovelands Infant and Nursery School

Enjoy, Achieve, Aspire!

Grovelands Infant and Nursery School is located in Walton on Thames, Surrey. There are 3 part time Nursery classes, 4 Reception, 4 Year 1 and 3 Year 2 classes. The age range of our pupils is 3 to 7 with approximately 340 pupils currently on roll. The school is a three form entry infant school however, in September 2010 and September 2011 we have been required to accommodate an additional Reception class due to the increased birth rate in the area.

Grovelands offers a wide range of facilities for the children in both indoor and outdoor learning and play areas. Major investments have been made in learning resources, particularly to support literacy and provide a broad, balanced and creative curriculum. The school has an ICT Suite, library and additional needs room and all of these are used to extend and enhance the learning of the children attending the school.

Grovelands offers a caring and inclusive environment for all children, working in close partnership with parents and external agencies for children with SEN and offering additional groups for more able, gifted and talented children. The ‘Every Child Matters’ policy is fully embraced and supported by the school.

The school mission statement is ‘Every child is to be provided high quality care and education in order to give them a good foundation in life and to make a positive difference to the whole community’.

At Grovelands every child is encouraged to develop a lifelong love of learning in a safe and secure family atmosphere. The school motto is ‘Enjoy, Achieve, Aspire’ and the children follow the school rules ‘Show Respect, Always try your best, Make good choices’ (SAM rules).

Grovelands has excellent links with local junior schools therefore, providing a smooth transition for the children leaving us at the age of 7.
