Walton on the Hill Primary School is a popular, vibrant and friendly school for pupils aged 4 to 11, serving the beautiful rural village of Walton on the Hill in the North Downs of Surrey. Our vision is simple yet ambitious: to make school unmissable for every child.
We believe that learning should be so rich in joy, curiosity, connection and challenge that children cannot wait to walk through our gates each morning. Our mission: Belong - Learn - Shine is not a slogan; it is the heartbeat of our school and the promise we make to every pupil and family who walks through our doors.
Our broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum reflects high expectations and a deep commitment to academic excellence, personal character and creative expression.
We embrace the outdoors, draw strength from our village setting and provide rich experiences that build cultural capital and ignite imagination, from Forest School to the arts, from sport to STEM, from local traditions to global thinking.
