Grasvenor Avenue Infant School

Great school, all kids love it here, the headmaster is great and the school is very welcoming.

Amazing staff

When we first found out my daughter had been allocated a reception place at this school (2013/14) that we had never heard of, I was upset to say the least. Never heard of it, despite it being only a few hundred yards from where I live (as the crow flies), but I went to meet the head teacher prior to the start of the school year and I was super impressed. Small school (only 3 or 4 classes), but absolutely brilliant. Staff were lovely and the head teacher was inspiring to say the least. He later became executive head covering this school as well as Underhill School on Mays Lane and is doing really good things. For the most part, kids who go to this school LOVE going to school. That's all that needs being said. My daughter graduated Year 2 there in Sep'16 and is now happily attending Underhill School, where the same head teacher continues to do great things, supported by some really lovely staff.

This is such an easy positive review to write! I'm sure along with a number of other parents I hadn't heard of Grasvenor even though we lived so close by, and to be honest it wasn't our first choice. However, our son loves it, the care and attention to the pupils from the head and her staff goes above and beyond. The school is small, only three classes but this lets the teachers really focus on the children's individual needs, concentrate on where there might be shortcomings and encourage the strengths. This is an excellent school and I have no hesitation in recommending it to other parents considering where to place their children,
