A few weeks ago, Old Grovian Alfie Longstaff visited the Grove to speak with our GAPP students about balancing university life with playing professional rugby. Alfie shared his experiences, reflected on his time at the Grove and answered questions in a Q&A before joining the students for games. Thank you for visiting, Alfie!

The Year 7 & Old Grovian Letter Exchange Project is complete!
Yesterday, every Year 7 student will receive their reply letter from an Old Grovian - a moment we’ve all been eagerly waiting for.
It has been truly wonderful to receive letters from Old Grovians all over the world, sharing their school memories, knowledge and thoughtful advice for our Year 7 students. The letters are filled with such positive words of encouragement and support - simply beautiful and a true reflection of what it means to be a Grovian.
A heartfelt thank you to every Old Grovian who took part in this very special project. The students LOVED them. ✉️
⭐Tonight’s the night - vote Ellie! ⭐
The 2025 BBC Sports Personality of the Year is decided this evening. It’s a strong shortlist, but we know who we’re voting for!
Old Grovian, Ellie Kildunne, wowed her coaches at The Grove back in the day – and, this year, she wowed the globe with her winning Red Roses performance in the Women’s Rugby World Cup.
We’ll all be watching and voting, Ellie. You’ve got the whole Grove community behind you. 💚⭐
