Walton-on-the-Hill Primary School
About Walton-on-the-Hill Primary School
Walton-on-the-Hill Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 108 applications for just 30 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3. 6 to one. Of those applications, 39 were first-preference choices, and 29 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Reigate and Banstead area. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 5 to 11, with a current roll of 205 pupils against a capacity of 210. It has no religious character and is led by headteacher Richard Laing. While the Department for Education does not publish a formal parent view score for this school, the combination of high application numbers and a very low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals (just 6. 8%) points to a school that is well-regarded by the community it serves.
