Welcome to Heathside Walton. As Headteacher, I am immensely proud of our values-led community where kindness, resilience and belonging guide everything we do.

– Johnny Clark Headteacher, Heathside Walton
At Heathside Walton, we are more than just a school — we are a values-led community where every member plays a vital role in our collective success. Our core values of kindness, resilience, and belonging were chosen by our school community and remain at the heart of everything we do.
Kindness - We are committed to creating a nurturing environment where every staff member and student is treated with compassion and respect. Kindness underpins positive relationships, a supportive atmosphere, and genuine collaboration,
Resilience - In a dynamic educational setting, resilience is essential. We support our staff in navigating challenges with confidence, offering the tools, training, and encouragement needed to grow and thrive.
Belonging - Every individual matters. We work intentionally to cultivate a strong sense of belonging, where everyone feels included, valued, and able to contribute meaningfully to our shared goals.
As a growing school, we know our success depends on the exceptional team we build. We are committed to recruiting and retaining high-calibre professionals by fostering an environment that prioritises wellbeing, professional development, and personal growth. When you join Heathside Walton, you join a community that recognises your expertise, supports your ambitions, and cares about your overall wellbeing.
Working with us means joining a vibrant, collaborative team where your impact is seen and your development is championed. Together, we work towards our vision of nurturing aspiration in all our students.
Wellbeing
At Heathside Walton, we believe staff wellbeing is fundamental to delivering excellent education. Wellbeing here is not an initiative — it is an integral part of our culture, shaped by our commitment to fairness, transparency, and support.
Our Commitment to Wellbeing:
A Holistic Approach - We recognise that every staff member brings unique strengths and needs. Our wellbeing strategy is comprehensive and responsive, ensuring our policies and practices support everyone.
Supportive Leadership - Our leadership team models ethical, open, and approachable practice. Through an open-door culture, collaborative decision-making, and fair processes, leaders ensure that staff feel valued, respected, and heard.
A Thoughtfully Structured Working Environment - Wellbeing is built into the way we work. Our staff wellbeing forum — led by staff representatives — ensures ideas and concerns flow from the ground up. We continuously review loadings, timetables, and directed time to promote balance and reduce unnecessary workload.
Dedicated Wellbeing Initiatives - Practical measures such as No-Meeting Mondays and scheduled work/life balance weeks each half-term give staff meaningful time to reset, focus, or manage personal commitments.
Supportive Policies - All policies are designed with wellbeing in mind. Regular line-management meetings ensure staff receive consistent support, and we welcome fearless, constructive feedback to help us improve.
Celebrating Our Community - We celebrate staff achievements and intentionally create opportunities for connection, teamwork, and enjoyment through regular social events and recognition moments.
Flexibility Where It Matters - We understand the importance of family, health, and personal responsibilities. Our flexible approaches help staff balance their professional and personal lives with confidence and support.
Professional Development
Our vision is to deliver an inspiring education that empowers students to become confident, curious, and self-motivated lifelong learners. To achieve this, we invest deeply in the professional development of our staff — because their growth fuels our students’ success.
Our teaching philosophy is rooted in research-informed practice, strengthened by consistent lesson routines, and elevated by our commitment to the habits of great teaching. We foster a culture where staff learning is continuous, collaborative, and celebrated.
Our Approach to Professional Development:
Targeted and Tiered CPD - We offer tailored CPD pathways designed to meet the diverse needs of our staff, enabling them to adapt, innovate, and excel in a rapidly evolving educational landscape.
Instructional Coaching - Personalised coaching helps staff refine their practice, strengthen their classroom strategies, and receive sustained, meaningful support throughout the year.
Department-Level Vision and Growth - Each department develops its own focused vision aligned with our whole-school goals, ensuring clear direction, shared purpose, and subject-specific excellence.
By investing in our staff and maintaining a dynamic, reflective approach to teaching and learning, we ensure that both our students and our team are equipped to thrive. Our commitment is to nurture a community of lifelong learners who feel empowered, supported, and ready for the future.
