Community surveys play an essential role in gathering high-quality, actionable feedback from our school community.
This is vital to ensure that we provide the best possible education to our children at Walton and the best place for our staff to work. We hold annual staff and parent surveys each year which we analyse to identify areas of strength and actions for further school improvement. We also hold pupil surveys each year, as well as regular pupil voice surveys and pupil voice being a constant at Waltonthrough day-to-day life and pupil leadership.

Local Community
From 2026-27 we will hold an annual survey with our local community, to see what issues currently impact them or to find out ways that school can further develop community cohesion. We also hold an annual ‘Open Meeting’ where members of the community can discuss matters (e.g parking) with the ASC and headteacher.
