Granbys staff and governors are dedicated to providing a high standard of education for all of our pupils. We are also committed to providing a wide range of activities and opportunities, both in and out of school, to ensure that children and their families enjoy their time at Granby. Granby is a Victorian school which opened in 1889 and has a fascinating history.
Whilst our school building is clearly of its time, we offer contemporary facilities and equipment to ensure the best in current educational provision. With 470 children on roll, and a staff of 90, we are a thriving school in the heart of our local community.
We believe that choosing Granby is a positive choice for your child and we aim to ensure that their years with us here are both happy and successful. We look forward to working in partnership with you.
