The Grove Primary Academy at a glance

Located in Camberley, Surrey, The Grove Primary Academy is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 419 pupils aged 4 to 11. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 65% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — broadly in line with the national average of 61%. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 107 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 3% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The Grove Primary Academy was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 35 families who put it first were offered a place. Overall pupil absence was 5.4%. There are about 22.5 pupils per teacher. The Grove Primary Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
