We aim to be people of hope, to celebrate individuality and to respect ourselves, others and the world in which we live.

Leading us in faith
SIAMS
The Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) is the Church of England and Methodist Church’s outworking of the requirements of section 48 of the Education Act 2005. It is a key element of the life of all Church of England and Methodist schools in England. SIAMS explores ways in which each school’s theologically-rooted Christian vision drives its work and enables the school to live up to its foundation as a Church school.
'Relationships at Waterhouses reflect the school's Christian vision. Pupils explain that your light is shining if you are treating others appropriately, because this shows the values of love, hope, respect and trust.'
St James & St. Bartholomew's Church
Waterfall St. James & St. Bartholomew's is our local Church and sits within the Parish of Waterhouses. Although we are currently without a Vicar (interregnum), we always enjoy welcoming members of the Church to join us and lead us in our journey of faith
Lichfield Diocese
School are proud to be part of the Diocese of Lichfield and embrace the support of the Diocese and the way in which this can help our pupils and staff to flourish.
