Walton-le-Dale Arts College and High School is celebrating a hugely rewarding and an extremely successful academic year! In May, Ofsted visited us and after spending time observing staff teaching and students learning in lessons, have designated us as "a good school."  Above: Peer Mentors Sam and Chelsea. Our Peer Mediation |
system was recognised by Ofsted as one of the significant strengths of the school.  Headteacher Mr Hill, seen above, was delighted by the report. He commented, |
progress and get good GCE results. They found our students to be well behaved and noted the strong positive relationships between the students and adults. Alongside this success, has come the equally wonderful news that  we have been awarded a prestigious "Gold Mark" for our Arts work! |

Years 7 - 9 were in celebratory mood as their achievements and endeavour were recognised in our annual Key Stage 3 Awards Evening which was held in school.  Congragulations first to our group of Mrs Ainsworth's librarians, who received several prizes for their hard work and commitment. Emma's performance at a recent Conference resulted in her receiving a specially personally |
signed copy of Geri Halliwell's latest book, "Ugenia Lavender".  Well done also to Tim and Lauren of Year 8 whose attainment and endeavour across a number of subject areas was also recognised. In Year 7 Lydia and Callum were rewarded for their excellent efforts and in Year 9 many congragulations go to I1's Rachel Riley and Christopher. |
As well as the prize giving the audience of parents and friends were also treated to delicious strawberry scones made by  Year 9 student Tim Flynn! Above; Students enjoy the fruits of their hard work! We now look forward to even more success from the students in September! |
