The Groverneers are the school council for The Grove Junior School. In January 2022, the school council members asked the children and staff to vote through a democratic process for a new name for the council. The Groverneers with the strapline ‘Pioneers for The Grove’ was the most popular and this is now how we refer to our school council.

The Groverneers consist of two members from each class in the school meaning there are a total of 24 children. The Groverneers are encouraged to strive to bring innovative, helpful and exciting ideas and events to the school for the children and to represent the pupils in a democratic way.
