Walton-le-Dale Arts College & High School was opened in 1957 as a 3 form entry secondary school for boys and girls aged 11-15 years. The school grew gradually until, in 1977, it was re-organised as an 11-16 comprehensive community Arts College. The school serves the town of Bamber Bridge and the areas of Walton-le-Dale, Gregson Lane, Hoghton, Higher Walton, Clayton Brook, Whittle-le-Woods, the outskirts of Preston and Blackburn and parts of the Ribble Valley.

Walton-le-Dale is a learning community which prides itself on concern for the individual. Each person is unique, with their own individual strengths. We value everyone equally.

We ask three things of our students and staff:

  • To work to the best of their ability, having pride in their work
  • To challenge themselves, taking risks in pushing themselves further than they thought might be possible
  • To show respect for others and be supportive of the needs and rights of others

We have a Responsibility to Prepare our Students for Adult Life

At Walton-le-Dale Arts College & High School:

  • We aim to provide learning experiences for the mental, physical, social, moral, emotional, spiritual and cultural growth of our young people.
  • We acknowledge that every person is unique with individual strengths and weaknesses, needs, likes and dislikes, regardless of age, sex, race or ability and we seek to value everyone alike.
  • We wish them to live effectively, now and in the future, as individuals, members of groups and in society at large, with due respect for their community and the environment.
  • We expect everyone to give and receive the respect due from one person to another
  • We want our young people to learn how to learn.

We want our young people to succeed!
