Year 7 Transition Brooklands

We are delighted to welcome you to Walton High – Brooklands Campus as you begin your secondary school journey in September 2026.

Starting Year 7 is an important milestone, and we are committed to ensuring that you feel supported, inspired, and fully prepared to succeed from your very first day.

At Walton High, we aim not only to help you achieve academic success, but also to grow as a confident, curious, and creative individual. You will have the opportunity to explore a broad and engaging curriculum, participate in a wide range of clubs and activities, and challenge yourself in new and rewarding ways.

We also offer extensive opportunities for enrichment, leadership, and personal development, enabling you to discover and develop your unique strengths and interests.

We understand that moving to a new school can be both exciting and, at times, a little daunting. Please be assured that you will not be doing this alone. Our dedicated staff and student support teams are here to guide you, answer your questions, and help you settle in quickly and confidently.

If you or your family have any questions before September, our Admissions Team will be pleased to assist you at

We very much look forward to welcoming you to Walton High and supporting you in making a confident and successful start to Year 7 in September 2026.
