The team (photographed with their medals) – Rocco Palmiero, Ajiri Ukeleghe, Dayan Sood, Billy Towers, Kian Potter and George Miller.

Mr Eyre took our YR8 boys 5 a-side football team to the MK Schools Tournament held at Sir Herbert Leon on 4th July and came home as Champions with gold medals around their necks.

It was a magnificent feat by the boys, who had to play ten back to back games that were each eight minutes long.

Having done enough in the group stage for a place in the semi-final, they played Ousedale who they drew 1-1 with. Dayan Sood scored the goal for Walton High. The winner of that game was decided by a penalty shoot-out. Goalkeeper, Kian Potter, saved a penalty to set up a final against SBE.

In the final, Rocco Palmiero scored early on and Kian made another great save to ensure a 1-0 win.

Mr Eyre was full of praise for the whole team. He described Dayan and Rocco’s link-up play as unplayable at times, but was very quick to say that it was a terrific team effort all round.

Mr Eyre’s Player of the Tournament was Rocco Palmiero. Players’ Player was Kian Potter who kept four clean sheets in total.

Walton High’s own Jack Meijer of Year 11 who came third in the 3000 metres for his age group at the English Schools Athletics this weekend.  Well done, Jack – we are very proud of you.

On Monday 3 and Tuesday 4 July, Walton High held a Post 16 Induction Event to welcome our prospective Year 12 students. Induction offers the chance for internal and external students to experience what their classes will be like next year, as well as having a taste of the Post 16 experience.

17 June 2017 saw our biggest concert to date with the most performers we’ve ever had on stage together with 6 drum kits, 6 keyboards, 6 guitars and 5 Vocal mics.

The Music School continues to grow and the quality of all performances was superb. The School continues to celebrate success across Pianomate, Junior Play for Keeps, Play for Keeps, Drum, Guitar and Vocal encounters.

Our Vocal encounters performed numbers from ‘Man in the Mirror’ to ‘Feeling Good’ together with some magical solos.
