Welcome to Walker Riverside Academy.

We look forward to welcoming you to our Academy in September.

It can feel like a big deal joining a new school. It is normal to have lots of questions about what your lessons will be like, or what to do if you are unsure about something. At Walker, we always try to make the move as seamless as possible.

On this transition page you will find information about transition events and dates.

Keep checking regularly for updated information.

Walker Riverside Academy is divided up into three Schools so we can provide greater academic support for all of our young srudents whilst also providing excellent pastoral support.

Our Schools are named: GRAINGER, DOBSON and STEPHENSON.

Form groups are prefixed by year.

Grainger School form groups are 7W, 7A and 7L.
Dobson School form groups are 7K, 7E and 7R.
Stephenson School form groups are 7C, 7O and 7M.

Each School has the following designated staff:
