About Grove College

Grove College is the natural centre of education for 16-19 year old students from Market Drayton and the surrounding areas of Northeast Shropshire and nearby parts of Staffordshire.

The Coordinator of Grove College is Mrs Mary Elkin, who with her assistant, Mrs Jane Fisher oversees all aspects of students' studies. She leads a team of tutors responsible for the welfare, support and guidance of students.

The College is based in the delightful Grade II listed Grove House which stands alongside Grove School on Grove Campus.  The buildings have been adapted to be an ideal centre for students.

The College is part of Grove Campus and shares staffing and facilities with Grove School, but has an ethos all of its own. Students can enjoy the best of both worlds - being a member of a College community while having use of the resources of the whole of Grove Campus.

Through forward-looking curriculum development, we are constantly opening up fresh opportunities for Grove College students. The flexible and innovative timetable structure, which includes a "Third Session" from 3.30pm to 5.30pm, allows programmes of study to be tailored very closely to what individuals need. Whilst most courses are taught by Grove staff, a small number are provided during the Third Session through an imaginative partnership with New College, Telford. Provision includes GCSE and OCR National options and a good range of AS level and A2 level courses.

Well-qualified, experienced and caring teachers offer excellent teaching and the college has a strong record of academic success, particularly at GCE A level. Able students frequently record outstanding results.
