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:

That’s a wrap on an incredible day at the British Library!
Falinge Park pupils Hannah and Hussain joined Headteacher Paula O’Reilly on stage with Sir Anthony Seldon to take audience questions at the launch of the OECD's Education for Human Flourishing in the Age of AI project.
Paula O’Reilly also spent time speaking with Bridgerton star Adjoa Andoh MBE during the event.
Immensely proud of our staff and students for representing Watergrove Trust on such a big stage.
