About Walton Oak Primary School

Walton Oak Primary School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most telling academic metric comes from the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 results, where 60% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined. That figure sits below the Surrey local authority average of 66%, placing the school 133rd out of 298 primary schools in the county. In the more affluent Elmbridge borough, the picture is starker: Walton Oak ranks 19th out of 21 schools on the same combined measure, putting it in the bottom 10% locally. The school's ranking score of 60 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, though the raw scores tell a more nuanced story. In reading, 78% of pupils reached the expected level and the average scaled score was 105, while in maths 72% met the expected standard with an average score of 102. The proportion achieving the higher standard across all three subjects was just 10%.
