Why Walton Academy?

More and more families in Grantham and from surrounding areas are making Walton Academy their first choice school for secondary education. We have been educating children for 60 years and have a rich history of academic, pastoral and vocational success.

From year 7 all the way through to sixth form in our post 16, Walton Academy is a desirable place to learn and grow. At Walton Academy we empower, we respect and we care.

Walton Academy is accessible via our school bus routes and public transport. Information on our school buses is available on our website.
