class GroupScreen(Screen):
    groupName = ObjectProperty(None)

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(GroupScreen, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.groupName.text = "Test"


class Group(App):

    def build(self):
        self.root = Builder.load_file('test.kv')
        return self.root



if __name__ == '__main__':

test.kv

GroupScreen:
    groupName:groupName

    GridLayout:
        cols: 2

If you are going to create the object in the .kv:

GroupScreen:
    groupName:groupName
    ...

Then it is not necessary to declare it in the .py.

On the other hand the addition of children to a widget is not instantaneous so it is always recommended in these cases to use Clock .

import kivy

kivy.require('1.9.0')  # replace with your current kivy version !
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import Screen
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.core.window import Window
from kivy.clock import Clock


Window.size = (500, 230)


class GroupScreen(Screen):
    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        super(GroupScreen, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        Clock.schedule_once(lambda dt: setattr(self.groupName, 'text', "Test"))

class Group(App):
    def build(self):
        self.root = Builder.load_file('test.kv')
        return self.root


if __name__ == '__main__':
    Group().run()
