Care Achieve Best Care to Achieve your best Welcome to Granby Junior School on behalf of all the staff, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the website for Granby Junior School. As Head teacher, I am delighted and proud to be part of this exciting community school.
Granby is a welcoming place with children experiencing a varied and exciting range of learning opportunities in and out of the classroom, within and beyond the school day.
Our partnership between home and school, as well as links with our Governors, local groups and other schools, allows us to support our children in their learning, enabling them to be the best that they can be. Curriculum at Granby, our ethos and values lie at the heart of our curriculum.
Our three values of Care to Achieve your best guide our community in what we learn, and how we learn. We have outlined what the values mean to us. Our curriuclum is inclusive and carefully planned to ensure that it is broad and challenging.
