Welcome to Walton High School
Welcome to Walton Sixth Form We are delighted that you have chosen to study with us here at Walton. Given that study at this level and in this setting will be new to all of you, we have put this handbook together to help familiarise you with our systems and generally how we do things. It is intended to be used as a guide for you to refer to as and when you require the relevant information. Studying in the Sixth Form requires a committed and motivated attitude. This approach from you, along with the support of your teachers, tutor and the Sixth Form team, will combine to help you achieve your best. Our Sixth Form is an exciting and happy place to study and we hope that you will make the most of what we offer here and that you enjoy your time with us. MRS K COOPER Director of Sixth Form
