School Description

Walker Technology College is larger than the average size secondary school. The proportion of students from minority ethnic groups is below average, so too is the proportion of students who speak English as an additional language. The proportion of students known to be eligible for the pupil premium is high. The pupil premium is additional funding provided for students known to be eligible for free school meals or who are looked after by the local authority. The proportion of students supported at school action is average, while the proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is high. The school meets the government’s current floor standards, which are minimum expectations for students’ attainment and progress in English and mathematics. The school makes off-site provision for fewer than 10 students. Walker Technology College is a member of the recently incorporated Riverside Trust of schools and offers services to its feeder primary schools. Among these is use of the Achievement Bus, which collects children and students who find difficulty in attending school regularly. The school made radical changes to staffing in July 2013 when 20 staff left the school.
