The first school was built in Heathcote Road in 1847. This school consisted of two rooms and accommodated 15 girls and 130 infants. The cost of the project was £1080. The cost for attending the school at this time was 2d per week per child and 1d for each additional child from the same family.
By 1870 this school wasn’t big enough to accommodate the needs of the district and a further schoolroom was built facing the school in Heathcote Road.
Walton National school opened on Bedford Road in 1895, paid for by the parishioners, and was built on land given by the Rectors of Walton and West Derby and by Madame de Falbi, and the Trustees of the Walton Glebe Estate.
The school changed its name to Walton St Mary Church of England School and closed its doors in July 2009 when the building was handed over to Walton Community & Enterprise Partnership, the building was renamed ‘Walton Cornerstone’
