WELCOME TO WALTON 2020 – 2021
This is ME… Likes: my job, my car, shoes & handbags, chocolate (all types), sunshine, beaches, reading newspapers, current affairs Dislikes: queuing, beetroot, liver, rain, cows Interests: gym, gardening, shopping, theatre, travelling – home and away. Been at Walton 5 years, loved and loving time spent at Walton - staff and students are stupendous. Family: Daughter 18 years, called Tia. I have 1 brother and 1 sister. Pets: Cocker Spaniel – Basil, 2 cats- Lulu, Tuffty, tortoise Tyrone! MRS SAXELBY – SENIOR PRINCIPAL
I have worked at Walton now for 12 years, starting as a teacher of drama in 2008. Since then I have been a Head of Drama, Head of Performing Arts, Head of House, Assistant Principal, Vice Principal and from September I am very excited to become Principal of Walton. I have spent quite a large part of my life at Walton as I also went to Walton for my secondary education, some people actually joke that if you cut me in half my blood would be green! I really enjoy performing on the stage and singing is a real passion of mine, keeping fit is also important to me and I enjoy running, biking and going to the gym. Reading is something that I find helps me relax and chill at the end of a busy day, recently I have purchased a Kindle which has been great as I now have unlimited books to read. I have three cats at home called Sky, Lily and Tinto, they are not the best of friends so they keep me busy with their chasing and fighting! Finally I think the most important thing is one of my favourite sayings ‘work hard, play hard!’….. I absolutely love working at Walton as we have such a great team of staff and students, there is nowhere more supportive. I can’t wait to meet you all in person and follow your journeys with us at the academy. MRS LEONARD - PRINCIPAL
