Walton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Street, BA16 9LA · Somerset · primary school
29th of 156 primary schools in Somerset we can score, 219 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 7.5/10 against 3,737 of them, against 7.0/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 81.0 · 89 | 40% | 3.57 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.81 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 81.0% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths, compared to the national median of 64%. Only 5.0% reached the higher standard. Ofsted rated the school Good in November 2023. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (7.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 7.0 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. The school offers girls and boys football teams. It has neither a breakfast club nor an after-school club.
Getting in. There are 129 pupils in a school with 150 places, leaving 21 spare places. The school has a little room, but is fairly full.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils who need help with reading or writing? What are the specific times for the football team training? How do parents arrange transport for children who cannot stay in school before or after the official hours?
