Walton-on-the-Hill Primary School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 28 families put Walton-on-the-Hill Primary School as their first choice and 93 named it as one of their preferences, for 30 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 33 in 2021 to 28 in 2026.
Across Surrey, 90% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Surrey lodged 144 appeals against primary school offers; 83 reached a hearing and 16 succeeded (19.3% of those heard).
