Headteacher's Welcome

I am delighted to be the Headteacher of Walton Le Dale High School and welcoming you to explore all our unique school has to offer your child. The website will be reviewed over the coming months, as we aim to ensure this is a welcoming and transparent place and has high quality information to support our community, especially our parents, so that is clear, comprehensive and informative. 

As a mother of a child at secondary school and as someone who has worked in the education system my entire career, I understand how important it is for children to be part of a first-class school that supports them both educationally and pastorally, regardless of skills or ability. I am passionate about developing the whole person, ensuring enrichment opportunities for pupils of all ages, and enabling excellent mental and physical health and well-being, supporting pupils and staff for the community to continue to grow and flourish.
