Values and vision

Maple Grove Primary School believes all children have a right to an excellent education, giving them the best life chances irrespective of race, colour, creed or circumstance. Aspirations for children are high.

This is an inclusive, caring school where every child matters. The staff challenge children to become curious, autonomous learners who are inspired and stimulated through a rich and varied curriculum appropriate to each individual.

Maple Grove Primary School works closely with parents, other schools and organisations to build partnerships that benefit not only the children, but also the wider community.

Ofsted report

“Teaching is good. Lessons are well organised. Teachers make sure all pupils are challenged to learn as much as they can. In one third of lessons outstanding teaching led to the pupils making rapid progress.

“Teachers understand what pupils can do and what they need to learn. They use this information well to set targets and track how well pupils are making progress. Pupils at risk of not doing well make good, and sometimes outstanding progress because effective care and support help them to learn.”
