Walter Halls Primary and Early Years School
About Walter Halls Primary and Early Years School
Walter Halls Primary and Early Years School sits squarely in the middle of the pack when you look at its headline Key Stage 2 results against the Nottingham local authority average. The school achieved a 60% expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is exactly in line with the LA average of 60. That places it 35th out of 74 primary schools in Nottingham, right on the 50th percentile — a solid, unremarkable position that tells you this is a school doing a decent job without setting the world alight. Nationally, it sits around the 56th percentile, so it's broadly typical for a state primary. What's more interesting is the gap between its expected and higher-standard scores: only 5% of pupils reached the higher standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is low and suggests the school's strength lies in getting most children to a good baseline rather than pushing a large number into the top tier.
