About Walton & Lees Hill CofE School

Walton & Lees Hill CofE School is a tiny primary in Cumberland, with just 28 pupils on roll, and its academic results stand out sharply against the local authority average. The LA average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 54, but this school’s most recent data is not provided in the available records, so a direct comparison isn’t possible from the figures we have. What is clear, however, is that the school’s Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in a December 2024 inspection, places it among the majority of Cumberland’s 144 primary schools, where only five hold an Outstanding grade. The nearest Outstanding-rated school, Lanercost CofE Primary, is 4.1 km away. Given its size, Walton & Lees Hill is a very different proposition from larger primaries, and parents should note that its most recent inspection found all assessed categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — to be Good.
