Walton High School is a large mixed secondary school and sixth form serving a community in the southern part of Stafford, England.

There are approximately 1316 students on roll. The school catchment area is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) around the school.

Previously a community school administered by Staffordshire County Council, in September 2016 Walton High School converted to academy status. The school is now the lead school in the Walton Multi-Academy Trust.

Controversy

In 2003 an illegal spy camera was placed by staff. Permission was not obtained for this camera, and its installation contravened child safety guidelines. It was said that it was installed to prevent weekend thefts. However, this camera was discovered on a Wednesday and therefore was still in place during weekdays. It was discovered by contractors repairing an extractor fan, who informed the head and the relevant authorities.

Notable former pupils

Dave Gorman, comedian, author, and television presenter
Julia Hills, actress
Jonathan Ive, designer of the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, among others
Hayden Norris, U-23 European champion and commonwealth games track cyclist
