About Walton-le-Dale Community Primary School

Walton-le-Dale Community Primary School sits comfortably above the Lancashire local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined against a county average of 60%. That thirteen-point gap is a meaningful one, and it places the school in the top quarter of primary schools nationally by this measure. The school also ranks 10th out of 35 primary schools in the South Ribble borough, putting it firmly in the upper tier locally. Its Progress 8 scores aren't available in the data, but the raw attainment figures tell a clear story: reading and maths average scores of 106 and 105 respectively are both above the national benchmark of 100, and the proportion of children reaching the higher standard in reading and maths sits at 20% each. For a state primary with a slightly above-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 14.9%, these results suggest solid teaching and consistent expectations across the board.
