At Walton, we believe that education is more than just academic success — it’s about belonging, purpose, and growth. Our students thrive in a supportive environment where high-quality teaching, a broad and ambitious curriculum, and strong pastoral care come together to create a culture of aspiration and achievement.

At the heart of our sixth form is a vibrant community — one that values individuality, celebrates diversity, and encourages every student to reach their full potential. Whether pursuing university, apprenticeships, or career pathways, our students leave confident, capable, and future-ready. We are hardworking, we are creative, we are change makers, we are Walton.

Our community

We have a rich makeup of students in our post 16 community that study different courses, take up unique extra-curricular opportunities, and give back to the school in a variety of ways. Hear directly from some of our students’ experiences in sixth form through our student story videos below.

Miller

One of the things that’s important to me is American football. The only reason I started was through the opportunities Walton gave me.

Ava

What makes Walton really unique is its facilities. The photography facilities for me were a really big push factor to going. We’ve got an amazing dark room and loads of facilities to do with photography.

Zak

I’m the second head student for Walton and I really enjoy it because we had to campaign. I thankfully won the campaign which means I can represent all my friends and the community I care about as well as try my best to make a change for everyone.

Rosie

I’ve just finished writing my English coursework which was about Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Wollf. It was really interesting to examine her work through different critical lenses, which is part of our our NEA. 

George

My passion is theatre. I really enjoy spending my time in the theatre up at the gallery working on lights and sound. In the theatre at the moment, we are doing SpongeBob the Musical so I’ve spent quite a lot of time in the theatre practicing and working on a lighting plot for SpongeBob

Eli

I am very strong in my opinions about society and other people and the things that they do that I believe, are maybe wrong. I would love to go forward and fight for what I believe in as I leave sixth form.
