Everything we do at Walkington School can be tracked back to three overarching aims: We are tremendously proud of the characteristics and values our pupils display, both in school and beyond. We also recognise that the skills and attributes we share will stay with our children into adulthood, and will shape the lives they lead long after they leave us.
We reiterate to them that school is only partly about the acquisition of knowledge, skills and qualifications; while this will undoubtedly open doors in the future, it is the person they are, not the qualification they hold, that will take them through these doors and on to success and happiness.
We are also aware of the complex world that our children live in, and the opportunities and challenges this brings. We realise too that our children are likely to live, study and work in many diverse places throughout Britain and beyond.
We firmly believe that the moral compass provided at Walkington School will serve them well in this world, and allow them to appreciate and enjoy the full breadth of modern life.
