Battlefields Trip 2026

While everyone has been enjoying a well-deserved (and hopefully restful!) Easter break, it’s been full steam ahead behind the scenes at both The Grove and Brontë House.
At The Grove, we’ve been making improvements across the site, from a brand-new Maidaid-Halcyon QX246 flight dishwasher (capable of washing over 2,400 plates per hour) and a fully refurbished wash-up area, to a new lighting system, stainless double sink with high-powered jet spray, refreshed science staircase, updated Martin Hall stairs and the transformation of the Art IT room into a dedicated studio space.
Up at Brontë House, the dining hall has been freshly painted, new fencing installed around the netball court, playground and car park and work has been underway at South Lodge, including new flooring and a kitchen upgrade.
We are always committed to investing in our school environments and holiday periods give us the perfect opportunity to make meaningful improvements while students are away. Every update supports our ongoing mission to grow, improve and provide the very best for our pupils.
We’re looking forward to welcoming everyone back to see the progress.
I am part of something incredible.
I am Grovian.

Our House system continues to provide students with a wide range of opportunities to engage, collaborate, and excel beyond the classroom.
Students are actively earning points for their Houses through a variety of competitions; these activities encourage teamwork, resilience, and a healthy sense of competition, while allowing students to showcase their diverse talents.
We look forward to seeing how the leaderboard develops as we head into Summer Term!
I am committed and resilient.
I am Grovian.
Did you know you can hire out the McCarthy Theatre?

✨The GCSE Years✨
Years 9 to 11 are an “interesting” time to be a teenager – with changing interests and sudden growth spurts, students in the same form can look years apart! At this challenging stage of growing up, it is easy for young people to drift away from the sport they once loved.
💥 Not at The Grove. 💥
Here, we offer a broad, inclusive and dynamic Sports offering – both in games lessons and as part of our co-curricular programme - led by staff who are experts in their field, who know exactly how to bring out the best in young people at this stage in their development.
🏆 Whatever their ability – from representing their House to representing their country
⚽ Whatever their interest – from fencing to football
Plus, we are very excited to launch the Grove Golf Academy in September 2026. In conjunction with Trackman and Bradford Golf Club, the Academy will provide student golfers of all abilities and experience with tailored coaching.
Give your child a sporting chance at a school where no one is left behind.
📢 Applications for September 2026 entry into Years 9 & 10 at The Grove are NOW OPEN!
📆 Deadline: Tuesday 21st April

Grove Boarding.
Safe. Warm. A second home. The words our boarders use to describe life at The Grove aren't what you might expect, but they're exactly what we aim for.
From soft skills to self-confidence, the lessons learned here go far beyond the classroom.

✨The GCSE Years✨
Years 9 – 11 are a time of growth – academically, socially and personally. Friendships evolve, challenges arise – and the school environment plays a crucial role in shaping students’ experiences.
The Grove is a diverse and inclusive community where every student is valued for who they are. Our supportive ethos permeates every year group and is reinforced by our:
🏡 House System - encouraging every student to contribute to school life, whatever their interests or ability and establishing friendships across year groups
💙 Award-Winning Pastoral Care - ensuring pupils have all the support they need to thrive
🌍 Vibrant, Multi-Cultural Boarding Community – celebrating individuality
During a turbulent time for the UK's independent schools, Grove families can take comfort in the knowledge that our school community remains strong and forward-facing. Our students can be confident of a seamless Grovian education all the way until they leave us at the end of Year 13.
Give your child the gift of a school that nurtures and empowers them.
