Welcome to Walkern Primary School
We are a happy, nurturing school where the children are at the heart of everything we do. Based in the picturesque village of Walkern, Hertfordshire, our rural surroundings allow us to enjoy extensive outdoor areas for learning and fun activities.
We have a caring, creative and hard-working team of staff who do their utmost to work in partnership with parents/carers and a range of professionals to achieve the best outcomes for all our pupils. Walkern School provides a challenging and stimulating curriculum, which encourages an enthusiasm and love for learning and develops intellectual curiosity, creativity and personal growth.
The first years of your child's education are precious and should be filled with a joy of learning. Our entire team is committed to securing the best possible outcome for each individual. We pride ourselves on knowing and understanding every child so that we can help them to achieve their own potential and strong sense of self-worth.
We welcome new and prospective parents/carers. Please feel free to contact the school office if you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit.
