About Us

The Grove Campus is a large and beautiful site bounded by the River Tern and the Shropshire Union Canal. Grove School and Grove College stand together on the site. Grove Campus is steadily developing to become a centre of community and life-long learning for all. Its designation as a specialist Languages College in 2002 was a major step forward for Grove Campus.

Grove is Market Drayton's secondary school. The school and college together form a comprehensive school which admits both boys and girls and provides courses for 11-19 year-old students of all abilities. It serves not only the town of Market Drayton but also a wide area of Northeast Shropshire. A considerable number of students from Staffordshire also attend.

The Grove is a focal point of the community, both for its buildings and facilities which are widely used outside normal school hours, and because it is the natural choice of school for all students in the area.
The staff and Governors take the responsibility of The Grove being the only school within this area very seriously. It is their aim for the community to be proud of its school and for parents to be happy to know that they have in Grove a school offering a standard of education that is second to none.

Although Grove School and Grove College are parts of the same organisation and share staffing and many facilities, they meet different needs and are described separately in this website:
