Sport, physical & mental wellbeing is a golden thread through our school.
Developing a lifelong love for health & fitness is key to what we do at Walton. We believe that sport is something that can provide a wide variety of pathways foe children, as well as developing key stills and improving concentration in class. We pride ourselves on an extensive offer, that allows all children the chance to be active, and to represent school with pride. From 2026-27, we will be attending over 100 sporting events in the year, with an aim for every single child in school to take part.
