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:

Mr McCulloch has been leading incredibly inspiring assemblies this week, exploring the story and significance behind #Remembrance and the Last Post.
Our Year 11 student Bobby, has performed the Last Post live in front of our entire school community of 1,300 students across the week. His playing has been absolutely exceptional and has made the assemblies even more moving and memorable. It takes real confidence to perform in front of so many people, and Bobby has done himself and the school incredibly proud.
