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:

Look at our Class 9 scientists in action! 🌸🔍 Today we dissected lilies, to investigate the male and female reproductive parts of a flower and learn how flowering plants reproduce. From finding pollen to identifying the stigma, stamen, and carpel, everyone did a fantastic job exploring hands-on science! 🌿✨

The Nursery went on a bear hunt during their forest school session this week. They journeyed through wavy grass, a deep, cold river, thick, oozy mud, a deep, dark forest and a swirling snowstorm before reaching a cave. Inside, they spotted a shiny nose, furry ears and googly eyes… a BEAR! 😱 We raced all the way home and hid under the covers. Phew! They are definitely not going on a bear hunt again! 🐻🌿 ...

Last week, colleagues from across our family of nine Watergrove Trust schools came together for our Annual Conference 2026.
Our theme this year focused on #Reconnection - exploring how we can achieve an energising, sustainable balance between ourselves and the world to better support the changing academic, social, and emotional needs of our children and young people.
To help accelerate that journey, we were privileged to learn alongside three exceptional keynote speakers:
Hywel Roberts, who provided a rich and fitting frame for our day by exploring the concept of '#Botheredness'.
Chris Such, who offered invaluable guidance on reading and curriculum development.
Dame Alison Peacock, who reminded us of the dignity, agency, and relational care at the heart of ethical leadership and teaching.
Thank you also to every colleague who contributed to making the day such an uplifting, collaborative success - and to those recognised by their peers for their wonderful dedication to coach, challenge, and innovate every day.

Our class earned some well-deserved free time today as a reward for fantastic attendance and punctuality! The classroom was full of smiles and laughter as students enjoyed playing together and hanging out.
So proud of their dedication to showing up on time every day—keep it up, team! 👏📚

This week has been such an exciting one at Kentmere! 🎉 We had fantastic parent's evenings where we enjoyed great conversations about our wonderful children and the incredible work they do every day. Parents had the opportunity to complete Proud Clouds detailing different aspects of school life and their children that they were proud of. It was wonderful to display these for everyone to see. To wrap up this busy week, we celebrated Sunshine Day, focusing on mental health and ways to enhance our well-being. 🌞 A heartfelt thank you to all the parents and carers for your amazing support this week! Now, let’s take a breather over the weekend before we jump into our final week before half term, which will be filled with Diwali festivities and a spooktacular Halloween disco! ✨

🎶 This week in Nursery, we’ve been developing our phonological awareness by listening to different instrumental sounds and making our own music! We’ve been practising listening carefully and watching for the cues to play and stop. 🎵
