• Walkley Primary Welcomes Ed Miliband for Inspiring Visit

  Fri 24 Apr 2026 Mr Wallis

  Yesterday, Walkley Primary School was delighted to welcome Ed Miliband for a special visit celebrating sustainability, student voice and climate action.

   

  During his time in school, Mr Miliband toured the school and met with members of the Pupils' Executive School Council and our dedicated Eco Team. Pupils spoke passionately about their ambitions for the future, their commitment to protecting the planet, and their thoughts and feelings around climate anxiety. It was a hugely positive and rewarding conversation, with our children showing real leadership, insight and determination to make a difference.

   

  The visit also highlighted the school’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, including the impact of our solar panels. Headteacher Mr Wallis joined Mr Miliband and Tom Hunt in discussing the already evident benefits the panels are having — reducing energy costs while also inspiring climate action and deepening environmental awareness across our school community.

   

  The visit attracted wider attention too, with ITV interviewing Mr Miliband during the visit, with coverage featured on the evening news.

   

  We were proud to share with our visitors how sustainability is woven into life at Walkley Primary — not only through practical action, but through the passion and commitment of our pupils. Their thoughtful contributions showed that young people have an important voice in shaping a greener future.

   

  It was a memorable day for the whole school community and a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the impact of collective action, student leadership and our shared commitment to a more sustainable future.

• Burnaby Cub Comes to Life - Pride of Yorkshire

  Thu 26 Mar 2026 Mr Clements

  This summer, a pride of lions, lionesses and cubs will take to the streets of Yorkshire in aid of Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Walkley Primary School will be part of the little pride and help to raise vital funds to ensure the world-class care, investment in new facilities, equipment and research will continue to transform young lives.

  On Monday 23rd March, all pupils took part in Lion Cub Day where our very own Burnaby Cub came to life. Each class came down to the front car park and stuck their Yorkshire leaves on to Burnaby. The pupils wrote and/or drew something on their leaf that they love about Yorkshire or that represents Yorkshire for them. We are incredibly lucky to have such talented pupils with some lovely designs added to their leaves. 

  At the start of the process, we sought the support of the artists within our school community to help put together a design concept that was inclusive for all the pupils at Walkley Primary School to be a part of. Throughout the design and creative process, Mr Wells has been a vital part in the creation of Burnaby Cub. A huge thank you to Mr Wells for all your support and help!

  Burnaby will be delivered back to the charity on Friday to prepare for the summer trail.

  Once we know where Burnaby Cub will be placed, we will share it with the Walkley Primary School community and expect to see lots of pictures when the pupils find Burnaby.
