In the heart of picturesque Walton on the Hill village, we are surrounded by open fields, country walks and nature trails. We are also centrally placed a few minutes from the local shops, cafés and the village ponds.

Our campus is set within 5 acres of green space with our own large sports field, playgrounds and multi-use games area used for football, tennis or basketball. We fully utilise our rural location to the full, using the Forest school approach which is a nurturing, pupil-led exploration and discovery of the nature and environment around us. We have our own horticultural areas and we are in the process of acquiring our own chicken’s and two Shetland ponies.

The school opened in September 2019 after a major refurbishment to create light, attractive and spacious classrooms. Each class provides an individual TEACCH work station for every pupil, a reading corner, nurture space and a group working table. All classes have the latest IT technology and every child has access to their own iPad. Media is naturally very popular with the children and we have the use of iMacs and our own 3D printer.

We prioritise the importance of physical health alongside the mental wellbeing of our pupils. Our school nurse visits regularly to ensure health care plans for each of our pupils are current reflect their needs. Our nurse also supports staff, providing training on using specialist equipment where this is needed.

We have a dedicated teacher for PE who delivers lessons to all our pupils, incorporating team games and sports. Our fitness instructor, Tawana, delivers specialist sessions where the pupils have taken part in high intensity fitness training, Yoga and dance to develop their physical fitness. Tawana also offers dietary advice and guidance to support living a healthy lifestyle, which is particularly important for our pupils.
