Walkington Primary School

 See the school website: walkingtonschool.org

The School 
The original Victorian school was founded on Northgate in 1876 with 62 pupils.
In 1973 a new infant school was opened at the Crake Wells site but the juniors
remained in the old building, having to walk across the village for PE lessons and
any 'whole school' activities.
At the end of the 20th century, funding was finally released to enable the school to
 be reunited on one site. 
After an exciting period of planning and construction, the official opening of the consolidated building on Crake Wells, by Rt Hon David Blunkett, Secretary of State
for Education and Employment, took place on 19 October 1999. Since then there
have been further extensions and refurbishments as the school has grown.
 There
are currently about 260 children on the roll.


Walkington Pre-School
