Walton-le-Dale High School

Walton-le-Dale is a community 11-16 high school in Bamber Bridge. The school receives children from Blackburn and Darwen and the surrounding areas, as well as from Lancashire. We are a fully inclusive school, having held the Inclusion Quality Mark since 2008. We are a small friendly school where we know the chidlren well, often described as a big family. We focus on ensuring that all our students feel safe and secure as we believe children learn best when this is the case. We ensure that lessons are challenging and interesting, encouraging students to play an active role in their own education. We also have extensive extra-curricular provision, supported by late buses back to Blackburn.

Description

Walton-le-Dale is a flagship school for the Inclusion Quality Mark which recognises best practice in supporting all children. We have held the Inclusion Quality Mark for 7 years. Students, staff and visitors with physical disabilities are able to access all buildings but may not be able to access the first floor of one block. This does not affect our ability to offer a full curriculum. We support a wide range of types of need, including those students with specific learning difficulties, moderate learning difficulties, speech, language and communications needs, physical disabilities and autism. We use a range of strategies to support students with different types of disability. For example, we provide visual timetables, enlarged worksheets, colour overlays etc. Technology is also used where appropriate to support those with specific needs.
