Mission Grove is an exciting, friendly and engaging place to learn and work. The school enjoys a respectful, co-operative and mutually supportive staff team where the children are the centre of everything we do. Mission Grove is a learning zone for pupils, staff, governors and the local community. Everyone has a responsibility to be positive about the school and promote the school’s excellent reputation.

In June 2023 the school underwent a short OFSTED inspection and was judged ‘Good’.

'Leaders and staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve.'

The 2 areas that were identified as areas that the school needs to improve are embedding the curriculum and being more strategic.

 The school is on a split site, North (Buxton Road) South (Exmouth Road).

We are a four form entry school, except in 2019/20 cohort which has 3 forms of entry. We have a 50 FTE place nursery on the North site and a 20 FTE place on the South. We provide 2 year old provision for 20 FTE children on the North site. We offer full time nursery places on both sites.

We offer ‘wrap around care’ in the form of breakfast and after school clubs, as well as a Holiday Club.
