To support Children in Need, we are donating a proportion of the proceeds from every cake sold in our Cafés this week. There have been some wonderful cakes on offer which have proved extremely popular with students and staff! 

The time has come for us to dig deep into our cupboards and donate to the food bank in our annual collection and make a difference to people’s lives at Christmas.

Last year we managed to collect a total of 908 items, which was fantastic! It would be amazing if we could beat that total this year.

Ideas for donations include:

• Spreads
• Sugar
• Tinned Fish (Tuna)
• Tinned Fruit
• Tinned Meat
• Tinned Pasta/ Spaghetti
• Dried Rice
• Tinned Rice Pudding
• Tinned Soup (especially Vegetable)
• Long life juice
• 500ml Long life milk (preferably whole milk)

Which year group will win the Generosity Award?

Our current YR11 Rugby squad have contributed massively to our trophy cabinet during their years at Walton High. They have been regular winners of both leagues and tournaments and last year, as U15’s, they won the prestigious Bucks County Cup that every Rugby playing school in the County yearns for.

Their last ever action in Walton High colours came at the MK Schools YR11 Tournament held at MKRFC. Their ability and quality shone through yet again to capture the title with a show of courage and strength. They beat every school they faced up to their last game which was against Ousedale. By this time, Ousedale had won all their games, except one. Walton High had the luxury of needing a minimum of a draw to win the title. It was a very closely matched game with both sides giving their absolute all. In the end, a draw was good enough and Mr Harris was, once again, justifiably proud of a very determined performance from all. He chose Harrison as his Player of the Tournament who scored a total of nine tries in true Harrison style. Baraka was voted Players’ Player by the rest of the team. He put in a stand-out performance with a pace that, in reality, no one from any opposing school could really handle.

The winning team, Harrison, Blake, Josh, Morgan, Freddie, Charlie and Baraka are pictured with Mr Harris and Cosimo, who due to an injury, was unable to play this time. As a major player in the history of this squad, he went along to support his team mates and revel in their success with them.
