About Wallington Primary Academy

Wallington Primary Academy in Sutton was rated Good across the board in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant improvement from its previous Inadequate rating in 2017. The school’s leadership, behaviour, personal development, early years provision and quality of education all now sit at Good. However, the school’s academic outcomes tell a more challenging story. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 tests, just 24% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That is well below the Sutton local authority average of 69% and places the school at the very bottom of the 33 primaries in the borough. Average scores in reading (97) and maths (96) are also below the national benchmark of 100, and the proportion of pupils achieving the higher standard in any subject is in single figures or zero.
