Watergrove is a place where everyone in our community, regardless of age, can thrive and learn.
Encompassing nursery, primary and secondary schools, Watergrove constantly invests in staff development and school improvement, with equal benefit to the individual and the institution.
The success of our community comes from our lived values.
Providing more, as one community,
to enable life in all its fullness.
Learners come first and we are all responsible for the quality of their experience and well-being.
Everyone belongs and everyone is included.
We are part-centralised and co-create quality through collaboration, whilst maintaining schools’ individual identities.




We currently have nine schools, six primary and three secondary, each bringing their own special qualities and expertise to share. Explore our schools below:

It was so wonderful welcoming our Reception children and their grown-ups into school for lunch today. From trying delicious school meals together to sharing plenty of smiles across the lunch tables, the hall was bursting with happy chatter and brilliant manners.
Watching our newest learners show off their routines and enjoy mealtime alongside their families was a real highlight of the term so far. Thank you to every parent, carer, and family member who took time out of their busy day to join us. It was truly special, and we’re so proud of how brilliantly our Reception stars are settling in! Thank you to our amazing catering team for opening the hatch early and for the delicious food🎒💛

We are delighted to share that Matthew Moss High School has been awarded the Inclusive Attendance Bronze Award!
This recognition highlights the school's ongoing commitment to creating a welcoming, supportive environment where every learner feels valued, connected, and supported to succeed.
Attendance is about far more than physical presence in a classroom. It is rooted in building authentic relationships, nurturing a sense of belonging, and enabling life in all its fullness for every child.
Congratulations to the team at Matthew Moss High School, as well as the learners and families whose shared dedication makes this supportive culture possible.
