Welcome from the Principal Julie Wood

Welcome to Walton Hall Academy where every student is valued and treated as an individual. 

Walton Hall is situated in a rural setting just outside of Eccleshall in Staffordshire. It is a unique academy with extensive grounds and outstanding vocational resources that make the “Walton Hall Experience” of education a very special one.  At Walton Hall we will NURTURE all of our students, enabling them to GROW holistically so that they can FLOURISH in their adult lives.

We work closely with parents and carers as through collaboration and partnership we can strive to support the students to become the best they can possibly be. Students will leave Walton Hall prepared for their adulthood. They will be confident and resilient young people who make valuable contributions to society.

We have a dynamic community of learners with a dedicated, creative and forward-looking staff team. Walton Hall is a generic special school and caters for students with a wide range of additional needs, all of whom have an Education, Health and Care Plan. We aim to enable our students to be respectful, responsible and ready for all aspects of their lives. We have a vibrant and enriched curriculum that is tailored to student’s needs (from pre entry to GCSEs and BTECs). We offer a range of outstanding vocational and life skills opportunities to our students through our residential provision, school farm, horticulture area, recording studio, art gallery, radio and media suite and motor vehicle department.

Being part of your child’s life and watching them grow year on year as they progress through the school is an absolute privilege.  We love to see what they achieve on their journey in preparing for life after school.
