Are student rate tickets not valid on national rail?

Course they are, if you're a student. Do you mean one bought by a
holder of those YP/student railcards?

Ah, I should have been clearer. I mean a ticket bought with a student
photocard from a tube ticket office. Whatever it is I'd get if I went
to my local tube station and asked for a monthly student ticket zones 1
to 3.

No, student season tickets are LT cards not Travelcards and are not valid on
national rail (except a few joint routes).
