Welcome to the online prospectus for Grindleford Primary School Thank you for your interest in our school Grindleford Primary opened on the 24th November 1876 and is still thriving today. Our school is able to offer continuous and high quality education for children aged 4 to 11 years.
From the moment a child starts at Grindleford Primary, we aim to work in partnership with parents, in order to make all experiences at school the very best possible. This is the start of a long and extremely rewarding time for each child at school.
I understand that you only want the very best education for your child and will want to find a school where your child will not only find academic success, but will also be happy and feel secure. To help you make a decision, please take the opportunity to meet with me and to look around the school.
You will see the school at its very best during a school day and I am always happy to show any prospective parents around. If you are unable to visit the school during the day, I shall be more than happy to meet with you one evening.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
