At Higher Walton CE Primary School, our children sit at the heart of all we do. As a small school, we know our children and our families well and endeavour to create Life in all its fullness (John 10:10) for everyone that comes here.
We want our school family to live out our values of friendship and forgiveness, courage and creativity, respect and responsibility, trust and tenacity , becoming ambitious, compassionate and empowered individuals ready to take on the challenges that life in modern Britain brings.
We have very close links with All Saint's Church, Higher Walton and our local community to ensure that we provide a broad, yet community-based education with a global and Christian-caring outlook.
All of our children deserve the best opportunities and as a school we are able to provide these as part of our inclusive curriculum offer, underpinning the Christian values and vision that we hold at Higher Walton.
