Why is everyone so keen to live near Elm Grove?

We’ve noticed a constant trend – almost every prospective buyer we speak to expresses a desire to live close to Elm Grove.

And here’s why.

Education.

Let’s face it, Elm Grove Primary School enjoys an outstanding reputation, catering to children from reception. It’s quite a special place.

While housed in a charming turn-of-the-century building, the school has seen significant investment in recent years, resulting in newer classrooms and top-notch equipment. Its outdoor facilities are particularly remarkable, boasting climbing equipment, quiet zones, and playgrounds. Everyone I speak to who’s familiar with the school talks about its ‘village school ethos’, where teachers know the children, their siblings, and even their families by name. It’s a modern school with an old-fashioned charm.

In a time when a quality education is more precious than ever, and private school fees can easily exceed £1300 a month, it’s no wonder families are drawn to the Heene area, especially around Elm Grove and Tarring Road, in search of an exceptional state school.

But here’s the catch.

With such a sought-after school nearby, very few families ever seem to want to leave. As a result, demand consistently outweighs supply. And once you see the school for yourself, you’ll understand why.
