Policies & Annual Reports

Walton School is located in the heart of the mighty Waikato. We are 8 minutes from Matamata, 35 minutes from Hamilton, and 45 minutes from Tauranga and Rotorua.
Our school caters for New Entrants through to Year 6. We have six classrooms, large multi-purpose room, playground, two large sandpits, swimming pool, double tennis courts, large playing field, and admin area.

We have great staff who are passionate about providing the best education for all of our children. We try to keep our class sizes as low as possible to allow students plenty of contact time with teachers. We have additional staff members (teacher aides) who support some of our students with their learning.

We believe we offer every student a great primary education where they will be challenged, provided with new learning opportunities and ultimately thrive as a learner. Students who leave our school for intermediate and beyond always look back at their time here fondly and positively.

We'd love to see you become a part of the Walton Way.

Meet our Principal

Kia ora! Hello!

My name is Jeremy Kurth and I have the absolute privilege of being the Walton School Principal.

I am proud to say that our school has that good old country feel to it whilst still ensuring our kids are 21st century learners who are ready for an exciting tech-filled future.

Walton School's motto is to Stand Tall & Proud (Tu Maia, Tu Rangatira) which aligns with our school logo of a tall proud oak tree. To help the students achieve this we believe strongly in our school values of SPIRIT (see our values page for more about this)

As Walton Principal I believe in providing the best possible environment for our teachers to teach in and our students to learn in. I am very passionate about our excellent school and am committed to making it a place of excellence.

If you want the best education for your child then I'd love to have the opportunity to show you around our school and have a chat to you about your child's exciting future with us :)

Kind regards,
Jeremy Kurth

It is always a great day, with lots of whānau supporting our tamariki. As many hands make light work, please be aware that while you are watching your child compete, you may be asked to help out by measuring jumps/throws 😃

If you know of any college students who have the 11th November free to help out please bring them along!!

Looking forward to a fun day 🙂

Important! Bus/Car Updates

29 Oct 2026

🚌 IMPORTANT – BUS & CAR CHANGES 🚗

Parents and Caregivers,

We are experiencing an increasing number of bus and car changes that are not being communicated to the school.

Your children's safety is our priority. Each afternoon, we are left with too many question marks on bus rolls, meaning we do not know how some children are getting home.

It is essential that ALL changes are communicated to the school by 2.30pm

📱 NEW SCHOOL MOBILE: 022 482 2549

Please note: Mandy is not in the office on Fridays, so text messages are received and checked at the end of the day.

Even if your child knows the plan, we need to know too!

Thank you for helping us keep our tamariki safe.
