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.

Congratulations to the Year 9 and 10 learners who successfully took part in our ‘Fire-Spinning’ workshops with #Rochdale based Skylight Circus Arts this week.
Ten learners took part in two ninety minute workshops with a view to participating in the Rochdale ‘Ignite’ Fire Festival outside the Town Hall on Friday November 20th. The students have developed their knowledge of circus skills and fire safety as well as making new friendships too! We are so proud of you for trying something totally new.

🏆 Kentmere Academy – Proud to Be Shortlisted! 🏆
We were incredibly proud to be nominated for the School Commitment to PE and Sport Award at the Rochdale Borough Active Awards!
This award recognises schools that have gone above and beyond to incorporate physical activity into the school day, ensuring pupils have opportunities to be active, develop their sporting skills and lead healthy lifestyles.
Out of hundreds of schools across the borough, Kentmere Academy was shortlisted as one of just three schools invited to attend the awards ceremony. Although we didn't take home the award this time, we are extremely proud to have been recognised for our commitment and dedication to providing opportunities for all our children to enjoy sport, stay active and keep healthy.
A huge well done to Edgar Wood on winning the award! 👏
We would also like to say a special thank you to Mrs Grierson, our PE Co-ordinator, for all her hard work, enthusiasm and dedication in ensuring our children have access to fantastic sporting opportunities both in and out of school.

🏰 Year 2 DT Castle Workshop 🏰
Yesterday, Year 2 welcomed Helen from Alfresco Learning to take part in a wonderful outdoor workshop constructing castles.
This was a fantastic start to our 'Kings and Queens' unit in History and our exploration of structures in Design and Technology this half-term.
The children were incredibly enthusiastic in spite of the cold and windy weather and worked fantastically in their teams to support each other to learn new skills. Super work Year 2!
