A fully co-educational Woodard school with 136 boarders and 192 day pupils that provides a sound education combining the best traditional values with a modern and caring approach to the needs of its pupils.
Each pupil is a member of a single-sex House - there are three for boys and two for girls - and all pupils have their own personal tutor. The staff/pupil ratio is 1:10. At GCSE level 17 subjects are offered and in the Sixth Form 16 'A' level subjects and GNVQ courses. There are strong art, technology and music departments and emphasis is placed on club activities of which 35 are in operation. With twelve awards in the past year, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme features prominently.
The school's nationally known Dyslexia Unit, set up in 1969, provides English tuition for pupils capable of taking seven or eight GCSE subjects at 16. Dyslexic pupils are fully integrated in the mainstream curriculum and in all aspects of school life.
There are extensive playing fields and excellent sports facilities - for both the individual and for the team player. Grenville can offer, together with a wide variety of water sports, a total range of 15 school sports.
Health is considered to be of prime importance. A qualified nurse and two school doctors, who each visit twice weekly, maintain a high level of care.
Although Grenville is a Church of England school, pupils of other denominations integrate happily. Roman Catholic pupils may attend their own Sunday services locally.
Grenville College offers a complete education appropriate to the needs and abilities of each pupil. A broad range of opportunities enable them to develop their potential and be prepared for life beyond school.
Grenville College is a registered charity no. 306718 which exists to provide high quality education for girls and boys.
