Trial Communication System
Walton High School are trialling an electronic communication system to parents.
This may mean you receiving texts or emails regarding your child’s absence and school events.These messages will come from either of the following numbers:
Absence Alert Text Number: 07624 816818
If you receive a text regarding your child’s absence from school, you do not need to phone the absence line in addition to replying by text, however it is essential that you do contact us.
Group Messaging Text Number: 07624 816817
This will be a number used by school to inform/remind you of events such as parents’ evenings.
Can we advise you to enter both of these numbers into your mobile phone under “WaltonHigh School” so that you know they are legitimate calls.

A former student of Walton High School received a knighthood in the recent New Year Honours List "for services to design and enterprise".
Jonathan Ive attended Walton in the 1980s, where his interest in design developed before going on to study at Northumbria University.
He joined Apple in 1992 and was involved with several successful product designs such as translucent iMacs. Jonathan then led the design team in creating the iPod, iPhone and iPad.
The school would like to congratulate Jonathan on his achievements and hope that his success will inspire the next generation of Walton High School design and product engineers.
