Wallington Primary has strong tradition

There has been a school on the site since 1868 so we have a long tradition of community involvement. The school comprises of a modern main administration area and classrooms.
The addition of a new multi-purpose room, arts centre and kitchen facility has provided the school with a space that is open and flexible and can be used by classes for a wide range of learning activities.
The playground is spacious and provides our students with various areas to stimulate their imaginations in a safe environment. Incorporated in the playground is a passive area where children who want a quiet area to play can go.
