Walton-on-Trent is a much smaller-than-average primary school. However, the number of roll has increased significantly since the previous inspection. Most pupils are of White British heritage. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is well below the national average. The percentage of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities is similar to that seen nationally. Pupils’ mobility is above average. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage are taught in a mixed Reception and Nursery class. The Nursery provision opened in May 2011; most children attend mornings with a very small number attending also in the afternoon. The school has Healthy School Status, Artsmark silver award and Activemark. There is a ‘Morning Club’, managed by the governing body, which operates each morning. Two new teachers have joined the school in the last 12 months.
