Welcome From The Headteacher

Welcome to Anns Grove Primary School

It is a privilege to serve as headteacher of a school that is so deeply rooted in its community and committed to providing the very best education for every child.

Anns Grove Primary is a successful and expanding primary school with approximately 400 pupils, serving a fantastic community in Heeley, Sheffield.

At Anns Grove, our classrooms are led by compassionate, enthusiastic, and highly skilled educators who value the development and wellbeing of each child under their supervision. We cherish and appreciate the distinctiveness of each of our children and strive to assist them in growing confidently and flourishing in their unique identity.

Our rich, broad curriculum allows children to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to achieve the best possible outcomes, fulfil their potential and move on to the next phase of their education as successful and ambitious learners.

All of this is built on the strong foundations of experiencing positive and caring relationships which provide them with a true sense of belonging to the school community.

We hope that your children will leave Anns Grove not only having achieved their full potential academically, but also leave prepared to take on responsibility for their own learning and ready to use their talents for the good of others.

As part of Mercia Learning Trust, we share a common mission and set of values. We are committed to kindness, integrity, and diligence, and we exist to empower everyone in our communities, especially the most disadvantaged, to succeed. These principles underpin everything we do and shape the culture of our school.

We are very proud of what we do each day. Should you wish to visit the school, please contact the school office who can arrange this for you.

Our ethos and values

We want all children to leave us well-prepared for the next stage of their learning journey, and developed as responsible, resilient, well-rounded citizens.

Anns Grove is a warm and friendly school where a committed staff team go the extra mile for our children every day and is skilled in planning to meet their individual needs, both personally and academically.

We believe that strong relationships and wellbeing are crucial to children’s development, and we encourage everyone at Anns Grove to build exceptionally positive relationships. Our motto, “We Shine Together” reinforces this belief.

We place a strong emphasis on reading and aim for every child to be a fluent reader by the age of seven. If a child is not reading fluently, they are given every opportunity to catch up so that they can access a broad and balanced curriculum.

Our inspiring curriculum focuses on building children’s subject knowledge in all areas and ensuring that this knowledge is retained and applied to ambitious outcomes.

Our school is a community which celebrates the uniqueness and diversity of each individual.

As a community we depend on each other profoundly. Our aim is that through example as well as by direct teaching we will teach our children that the most effective way of learning is by caring for others, nurturing our own talents, always doing our best and always being there to help others.
