We have a strong reputation for our forward-thinking philosophy and vibrant, positive culture. We are a friendly and welcoming school with supportive colleagues who work collaboratively to make a meaningful impact on our academy and on the lives of children across our community.  

At Grange Primary Academy, every child is supported, included and encouraged to be the very best version of themselves each and every day. We are extremely proud to have been rated Good by Ofsted for nearly 15 years, reflecting the high‑quality indoor and outdoor provision we offer to all our pupils.

Working at Grange Primary Academy means joining a warm and collaborative team where staff wellbeing and professional growth are prioritised. Colleagues support one another, share ideas openly, and take pride in creating an excellent and inclusive learning experience for all pupils.

The school has benefited from a £2 million renovation programme. Classrooms are modern and well-equipped, providing an excellent learning environment for children. The school also offers extensive IT facilities, a full-size sports hall, separate assembly and dining hall, an Imagination Hub, an on-site Forest School, and two exceptional playgrounds.
