Walton Primary Academy

About Walton Primary Academy

Walton Primary Academy in Wakefield was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2012. The school’s strongest academic indicator is its Key Stage 2 results in reading, writing and maths combined: 64% of pupils met the expected standard in the 2023/24 academic year, which matches the Wakefield local authority average exactly. That places the school 52nd out of 97 primary schools in the local authority ranking, putting it in the top 54% nationally. While the school doesn’t crack the top tier locally — the top three peers all scored 93 on the ranking metric — it holds its own in a competitive area. The standout subject is writing, where 89% of pupils reached the expected standard, well above the 64% combined benchmark. Reading and maths expected rates were 71% and 78% respectively, and the school also saw 11% of pupils achieve the higher standard across all three subjects.
