Our academy is underpinned by our core values of 'Excellence, Courage, Commitment and Ownership'. We consider these to be integral to our students' success and wellbeing. Alongside a commitment to academic excellence, students are expected and encouraged to become fully involved in Walton life. Developing character is hugely important to us too, we want our students to be strong of mind, will and heart and we offer a wide range of enrichment opportunities to ensure this happens. All students will follow our LORIC curriculum that develops Leadership, Organisation, Resilience, Initiative and Communication skills in readiness for the world of work. At Walton our culture of kindness is of equal importance to academic success; we want our students not only to be successful but leave with a robust moral compass.
