Word From The Head

Head Photo

James Lockwood


At Woodhouse Grove we appreciate that every child is an individual with their own unique personality, talents and skills; and it is this individuality that we grow and nurture at all stages of their education, this approach is at the heart of the school's aims and ethos (seen below).

A child’s potential could lie anywhere – so we ensure that every pupil is exposed to a huge array of opportunities and experiences. We then take pride in identifying and honing their strengths to make the most of their natural abilities, while working hard to develop areas that need improvement. This approach sees each and every Grovian grow into the very best version of themselves they can be.

James Lockwood
Headmaster.

    The School's Christian ethos and values are at the heart of school life and shape the work of leaders. Leaders act as positive role models. Warm interactions between staff and pupils foster mutual respect, which leads to productive working relationships in the classroom.

    Teaching enables pupils to make good progress across all stages of their education. Provision for pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is strong.

    The education I received from The Grove was more than just academic success.
