Walton High School (Milton Keynes)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walton High is a specialist Business and Enterprise College in the Walnut Tree district of south-east Milton Keynes.
The school has had 2 OFSTED reports both scoring highly and has been visited by the former Prime Minister Tony Blair and the former Chancellor Gordon Brown (before he became Prime Minister).
Walton High was opened in September 1999. Founding Principal Roy Blatchford was the school's first head and the first intake had 120 pupils enrolled into the school.
In September 2000, a new Art and Design Technology block was added to the site to accommodate new pupils and provide new learning opportunities.
In September 2004, a temporary 6th Form area, new Cafe and a new sports hall were added to the campus with approximately 20 new classrooms and a new library area.
In late 2006 plans for a new "state of the art" 6th form area and a sports pavillion/dance studio (including a bar) was approved to be added onto the adjoining grass land and was recently built, there were also plans for a large theatre to improve the performing arts facilities. Most of the buildings are completed and are currently available for use. Currently there are over 1,000 pupils.
