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.

Today, our Year 3 and 4 children celebrated Times Tables Rock Stars Day!
The children had lots of fun dressing up as rock stars and practising their times tables. They showed great enthusiasm as they worked on improving their multiplication skills. Well done, Year 3 and 4 — you are all rock stars!

This week in Nursery, we’ve been learning all about how to keep our teeth healthy and how to brush them properly! We had lots of fun roleplaying as dentists and practising our tooth-brushing skills. 🪥😁

🌳 Forest school adventures 🌳
Exciting news for St James', we now have our very own Forest School!! 🤩
We had our first session last week, the children had a fantastic time! They explored their surroundings, collected natural resources, enjoyed lots of imagination games and got creative with flower printing. 🌸🎨
The children also began building our very own den using tarpaulin, working together and using their creativity ⛺
Over the next few sessions, we’ll be continuing to build our den and decorating our Forest school area using natural resources and homemade tools. We can’t wait to see what the children create and learn 🪵
A big thank you to Mrs Higgins and Miss Neville from Watergrove Trust for getting this off to a fabulous start! 👏
