Walton Girls School

Walton Girls School was a girls secondary modern school situated in Halesowen, West Midlands, England.

It was built during the 1930s to serve the central area of Halesowen. It remained open for some 50 years, and during the final years of its existence was the only all-girls secondary school in the Dudley borough (which Halesowen became part of in 1974).

Walton finally closed its doors in July 1985 when it merged with nearby Richmond Boys School to form Windsor High School. The new school was located entirely at the Richmond site from its opening in September 1985, and the Walton buildings were taken over by Halesowen College.

By the late 1990s, the Walton buildings were becoming increasingly surplus to requirements, and plans were drawn up for new ICT and animal care facilities to be opened at the main Halesowen College site in Whittingham Road. A new building at Halesowen College was completed in the summer of 2003, and the 70-year-old Walton buildings were sold off for redevelopment by Barratt Homes.

By the summer of 2004, the site of Walton Girls School had been transformed into a development of private houses and flats.
