Our Achievements Explained:

Although at Walton on the Hill Primary School we do not overestimate the importance of academic assessments, it is always pleasing to see our children doing well and having their hard work pay off with positive results. Last year was no exception and, as well as some great achievements in music, drama and sport, there were also some academic successes worth celebrating!

As a small one-form entry school, it is very pleasing to see such consistency in our results over time, regularly performing well above the national average. While acknowledging that one cohort may be very different from the next, it is reassuring to see such stability in our outcomes. 

Last year, 80% of our youngest children in reception achieved a good level of development, which is 10% higher than the national average and puts us in the top 15% of schools nationally. 

90% of the children in Year 1 achieved the required standard in their phonics check. This is 10% higher than the national average and puts us in the top 20% of schools nationally. We were also exceptionally pleased that, for the second year running, 100% of the children in Year 2 achieved the expected standard in phonics. Getting the fundamentals of reading right is so important, so it was great to see the hard work pay off. 

In Year 6, 93% of children achieved the expected standard in reading, with an impressive 46% achieving the higher standard. Both of these figures are significantly above the national average and put us in the top 10% of schools nationally. 93% of the children achieved the expected standard in writing with 29% working at the greater depth standard – significantly higher than the national figure of 13%. In maths, 83% of children achieved the expected standard and a further 25% were working at the higher level. Our combined results for reading, writing and maths were 79%, which puts us in the top 15% of schools nationally and in the top 40 schools out of the 300 primaries in Surrey. Let's hope we can move into the top 10 next year!
