After a call for help on Friday from a school parent, Mr Allison came into school to produce 73 visors for the Bingley Bubble GP Practices for their staff to use.
All of the schools science and d&t goggles were distributed to those who needed them 2 weeks ago.

Congratulations to the mighty U16 Netball team who have made Grove Netball history at the England School National Finals by reaching the semi-finals & officially being 4th best team in the country. The school are incredibly proud of all the players & their coaches

Congratulations to Y12 students James Whitcombe and Joe Carpenter who have been named in the England U17 Development Squad. Both boys have worked hard over Easter putting in extra sessions at school, prior to their two England development camps and trial match v Scotland.
We are delighted to welcome Kizzy to the Grovian family. Louis has always been amazingly independent but Kizzy will make life even easier and is settling in well. Hopefully the beginning of a long and beneficial friendship. I am committed and resilient.

Slowly slowly and to Government guidelines we welcomed some of our Y10 pupils back into school today. Thank you to Mrs Dawson for sharing.
It's a small step but it feels great to be able to have some pupils back on the Grove site.

@WGSNetball
netballers were meant to jet off to the Caribbean...were are absolutely devastated for them. Mrs Jennings has a message for you x
And just like that we are back!
Such a great day and there were lots of smiling faces at the end of it!
After 167 days it has been an emotional day for many and we are sure there will be some tired students and staff tonight.
But we are back, and we couldn’t be happier. 😁
As University interviews and offers begin to come in, two of our Year 13 boys kick us off with some great news…
I am my unlocked potential.

This half term we have been overwhelmed by our teachers 'can do' attitude and their determination to provide our pupils with the highest level of education and pastoral support they can.
Thank you.
We are all in this together.
I am Grovian.
Wishing the boys and staff a great cricket tour in Barbados and St Lucia

Amazing, Harrison Green is officially 4th best in the World as he competed for GB in the DMT World Age Group Champs in Russia last week. At 17 years old, Harrison was competing against 21 year olds & is delighted with this result, narrowly missing out on bronze on a countback. 👏
So today we should have been posting our Prize Day photos (& possibly Sport’s Day ☔️).
We are so sad that we haven’t been able to end the school year like we normally do & we are gutted for our Y13 Leavers.
Here is a nice memory of the staff on Sport’s Day last year. #😢
We say farewell for now to our Y13 Leavers.
We know this is not how your journey should have ended, but we hope our celebrations in December will give you something to look forward to.
Xaipete.
This is dedicated to our 2020 Leavers.
Well that’s a wrap! School is out for Christmas! Wishing all our pupils, staff and their families an amazing Christmas and a fantastic New Year!

Happy New Year to all of the Grove community!
We don’t quite know what 2021 will bring, but we do know that we have an incredible staff team who will do everything they can to make things as normal and as safe as possible for all our community.

Pleased to have completed the first covid test to all pupils who have signed up for testing. Thanks to staff for manning the test centre and providing a warm friendly welcome to all pupils - taking any fear or worry out of the process. Bring on Monday!

Congratulations to our Y11 pupils who have received their GCSE results today!
We are so proud of our pupils who have achieved a 96% pass rate with 30% of the year group achieving 6 or more high grades!
92% achieved 5 or more passes including maths and English. Well done Y11!
What an incredible group of young ladies and we couldn’t be prouder of what you have achieved at the Grove. True Grovians.
We are all behind you today

Enjoy every minute of it!

A bit of nostalgia on this Tuesday morning. Front of School 1812 versus this decade. For info, the West wing including the dining room, was added in 1848 and the East wing in 1854. We can't wait to share this view 'live' with our pupils from 8th March.
Our Year 11 pupils have done us proud as we celebrate another year of great GCSE results, with a quarter of pupils have achieved at least 6 top grades! More individual stories to follow....
Congratulations to Noah (Y8) who has won player of the tournament at the annual Yorkshire Cricket Board regional tournament. Scoring around 140 runs in 4 innings, including 2 fifties!

Resulting in a call up to the full county team. 👏🏻👏🏻

We didn’t qualify for the playoffs but all the girls gave it absolutely everything. So proud that they made it there & we will wait to hear final placings.
Thank you to our incredible staff & supporting parents 🥰
Congratulations to Harrison Green who has added another medal to his ever growing collection. Harrison won Bronze in the Men’s Senior DMT at the English Championships. A great performance and useful preparation for the World Championships in Russia next month.

@WGSB
. Please note the game is now being played at Wirrall RUFC, postcode CH63 0LT, KO at 2.00pm. For those that can't go we will try and tweet regular updates throughout the game.
What an amazing weekend, hopefully one that our Y13 Leavers will never forget. Prize Day, Sports Day, Summer Ball, Leavers Service, Leavers Lunch & Old Grovian Sports afternoon all in one weekend. Thanks to all the staff, pupils & parents for your support.
Good luck to our Y11s receiving their GCSE results tomorrow! We are sorry that the current rules don’t allow us to see you but our Sixth Form team are on hand to discuss options with you.
#gcses2020
A year group who, due to the pandemic, have never sat external exams before - you have truly demonstrated the Grovian Values of commitment & resilience and have approached your A-levels with diligence and determination.
We are delighted that your hard work has been rewarded.
A fantastic bronze medal for Y13 pupil Harrison Green in the senior men’s category at The British Champs finals last weekend. Harrison smashed the world age group qualifying score by 6 points & will compete for GB in Portugal next week. What a landing!
We are still waiting to receive guidance on how we can support our Y13 pupils who have been let down by the A Level grading system. As soon as we get some clarity we will do all in our power to ensure pupils get the results we believe they deserve.
Wow Hermione, Y9 is part of a WORLD RECORD! The selected team absolutely smashed the World Record by over 3 minutes swimming 100x50m freestyle relay on Saturday in Stockport, raising lots of money for
