SURREY'S 11-year-olds have once again outperformed the English average in their national curriculum tests.
The latest figures show many east Surrey state schools also scored year-on-year improvements.
Walton-on-the-Hill Primary School was one of only 896 in England to record flawless results, with every child hitting the Government target of Level 4 in English and maths. That compares with an England average of 79 per cent, and a Surrey average of 82 per cent, both of which are rises of five percentage points on 2011's figures.
But as in past years, the league tables come with a warning from head teachers not to rely on results too heavily when judging schools.
Mary Chapman, head teacher at small Walton-on-the-Hill Primary School in Walton Street, said: "We are delighted and really proud of our children but it is all their achievements we are proud of – their academic ones but also sport, drama and other things.
"I have got a fantastic team of teachers, and we are a small school with one class per year group so all of the staff know all of the children.
"The main thing is instilling in them a love of learning. We really hope they enjoy their learning; if they are happy, they are going to learn. We are pleased with last year's results, but they are not the be-all and end-all."
Other East Surrey schools showing significant year-on-year improvements in results in both English and maths included Yattendon School and Manorfield Primary, both in Horley; Warlingham Village Primary School; Epsom Downs Primary School; and Audley Primary and Hillcroft Primary, both in Caterham.
The head teacher at Audley Primary in Whyteleafe Road, Daphne Shields, said: "We are extremely pleased because all the hard work we are putting in is paying off. Our results have been on the up for three or four years.
"We had a dip in 2011 but we have focused on reading and that has paid off dramatically, and our maths is steadily improving too.
"Some people put a lot on league tables, others look at Ofsted reports. The best thing I always say to parents is go and look at the school.
"The results do vary from year to year; schools might do particularly well with one cohort, then have a dip.
"What the results don't show is those that may have made really good progress but their attainment isn't in line with what they are supposed to achieve."
