Welcome to The Griffin Primary School

A new primary free school sponsored by Lawrence Sheriff School

We are delighted to confirm that our long-awaited primary school is scheduled to open with up to 30 Reception children in September 2023.

The Griffin Primary School, a non-selective, state-funded, one-form entry primary school for children aged 4-11 years, will be located in brand new, purpose-built accommodation at the Eden Park development, off Lower Lodge Avenue, Rugby CV21 1NU. It will meet the growing need for additional primary school places created by several new housing developments in the area and will offer parents an additional option in their choice of school.

Discussions are also in progress about us running the nursery for 3-4 year olds attached to the school building from September 2023.

The school will be run by the ‘Outstanding’ Lawrence Sheriff School as its approved sponsor, which is forming a multi-academy trust (MAT) to ensure the highest quality of teaching and learning underpinned by robust pastoral care from day one. Headteacher Designate Alison Hines will lead the school team.

We hold that a happy school is a successful school, and that happy students are better placed to achieve academic success. Central to our vision is that we will create an inclusive school community with a warm and positive environment where every pupil is valued as an individual and can flourish and be happy, kind and confident. Children will develop a love of learning through an enriching curriculum that combines support, challenge and fun.

Applications for 2023 Reception places must be made directly to The Griffin Primary School and are in addition to the usual local authority process.
