Last night’s open evening saw a fantastic turnout, with families and their children exploring the vibrant environment of our academy. There was a range of activities and information on offer, and it was a joy to witness the engagement and enthusiasm of everyone involved.
Our principal’s welcome talk set the tone for the evening, highlighting what makes Walton Academy a special place. The warmth and friendliness of our staff and students were evident, and the feedback we received reflects this sentiment perfectly.
Visitors were treated to a variety of interactive and educational activities, showcasing the unique and dynamic environment at Walton Academy. Highlights included a fun exploration of Shakespearean insults, creative activities such as designing animals for Noah’s Ark, and historical journeys through medieval medicine and the interactive Doomsday Book. Engaging mathematical challenges with Numeracy Ninjas added to the excitement. Our musical theatre students delivered captivating performances, while diverting dissections fascinated children and their families alike. Additionally, our Walton Book Giveaway—our way of giving back to the community—was a hit, with many children happily choosing and enjoying new books.
