We are ambitious

When children discover something new, their dreams grow. We open horizons, spark interests and celebrate that learning is wide, exciting and boundless – so that every child reaches courageously for their goals.

We are creative

At Maple Grove Primary we treasure independence and imagination. With our City of London community, we celebrate the arts and encourage children to think laterally across every area of learning.

We are Londoners

We root pride and respect for oneself, our school and others. As a small, warm-hearted school just steps from St Paul's, we nurture strong bonds and friendships across the generations in our neighbourhood.

We are global citizens

We help children understand and love the world beyond their neighbourhood. Our motto: "A big wide world in one small school" – we celebrate diversity, inclusion and mutual respect.

Mr James Whitmore, Headteacher

A small, warm-hearted primary school in the heart of the City of London – on Queen Victoria Street, just steps from St Paul's Cathedral.

School children visiting a museum

Year 3 & 4 visit the British Museum 🏛️

Years 3 and 4 had a wonderful trip to the British Museum with a workshop on ancient civilisations. We are so lucky to have such treasures right on our doorstep in London. The children got to handle real replicas and step back in time!
