Facilities

Walnut Tree Campus, Fyfield Barrow, Milton Keynes, MK7 7WH Brooklands Campus, Fen Street, Brooklands, Milton Keynes, MK10 7HE

Wraparound Care

Enrichment sessions are offered at the end of the day. Some enrichment activities run across the two campuses (for example, the orchestra and residential visits).

Admissions Criteria

Walton High is one school across two campuses (Walnut Tree and Brooklands). Applications are made to Walton High as a whole rather than to a specific campus. The school is oversubscribed with more applicants than places; if a place is offered, it may be at the campus where a space is available and may not be at the preferred campus. Applications for Year 7 are via Milton Keynes Council with a closing date; in-year admissions are direct to Walton High. An independent appeal process is available if no place is offered. See Admissions Policy for details.
