Battle Primary Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

This is a school that has improved rapidly and continues to do so. Pupils know this. They talk positively about the new things they learn and the new things they do. They know that their teachers expect a lot and are keen to impress in all they do. Their progress through the school's curriculum is strong. Pupils are not afraid to make mistakes. One telling conversation with a pupil revealed that she feels that staff give her friends 'the confidence to succeed'. Pupils are proud of their work, even when it is not quite perfect 'but nearly'. They know that staff are there to help when learning gets tough. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are also supported well. Because of this, levels of trust are high, and all pupils engage in learning well. Pupils' attitudes to school are highly positive. They feel that their school is a friendly place. They frown on poor behaviour, though acknowledge this is relatively rare. They feel safe here. The levels of attendance of all pupils are high. Children in early years are equally well provided for. In Nursery and Reception, high expectations go hand in hand with a deep understanding of the wider needs of each individual child.
