Grovian for Life!
“Mindful of a home which never
Distance from her kin can sever,
Mindful of our friends for ever”
Xaipete
Joining Woodhouse Grove is best compared to joining an extended family that will offer friendship and support throughout life. Grovians, regardless of generation or gender enjoy a special bond. The Woodhouse Grove School Foundation aims to enhance the function and purpose of The Old Grovian Association, an organisation which has a proven capacity to support the School through a variety of means and methods. As the cycle of challenges facing the School continue to evolve in the 21st Century, we aim to engage and inform the wider Grove family, through traditional and contemporary skills of communication, to develop and secure the future of the School.
“Old Grovians, you have helped, each one of you, to make the School: you are still as much a part of it as we are, for you (and those alas, who are gone) made our tradition and we feel your influence in every part of our life. We want you to know that you are still with us in affection and purpose”.
