About Walsh CofE Junior School

Walsh CofE Junior School in Guildford received a Requires Improvement rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a grade it has held across both its inspections — the previous one in 2018 also rated it Requires Improvement. The breakdown shows every assessed area, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management, all scored at 3, meaning Requires Improvement. The school serves 217 pupils aged 7 to 11, with a notably high proportion eligible for free school meals at 35. 9 per cent, well above the national average. This context matters when interpreting the school’s academic story, as disadvantage can affect headline results. The most informative exam metric available is the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment in Surrey, which stands at 66 per cent of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths. Without Walsh’s own KS2 data in this snapshot, that LA average provides a useful benchmark for parents to compare against when the school’s results are published.
