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:

Huge congratulations to a talented Wardle Academy learner on an incredible summer of golfing success!
After hitting a impressive hole-in-one on a 165-yard par 3 during an away day with Whittaker Golf Club at Horsforth Golf Club, Samuel followed it up just a week later by winning the Junior Trophy at his home club.
What a fantastic showcase of skill, determination, and dedication to his sport. We love seeing our young people pursue their passions and achieve great things both inside and outside of school. Well done!
