Check the area around this school
58th of 130 primary schools in East Sussex we can score, 144 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 4.9/10 against 2,737 of them, against 4.4/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 63.0 · 46 | 40% | 1.85 |
| Ofsted | 52 | 35% | 1.82 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 5.0 · 40 | 25% | 1.00 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Battle and Langton Church of England Primary School
Overview
Battle and Langton Church of England Primary School has “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.” The report describes an “inclusive, caring school” where pupils are “happy and excited” by the opportunities available. Leaders have ensured that an “ambitious curriculum” is in place, and parents express a “high degree of confidence” in the provision.
Strengths
- Pupils thrive in a “warm and good humoured” environment where they are “well known and understood by staff.”
- Staff possess “strong subject knowledge” and “swiftly and accurately identify the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- Reading provision is effective; pupils “learn to read quickly, and well,” with staff ensuring books are “well matched to the sounds that pupils are learning.”
- The school’s Christian values are “well embedded,” and there are “strong outward links” with the local community, including care homes and the fire service.
- Governors are “well trained and informed” and “hold school leaders appropriately to account.”
Areas to improve
- Teachers should focus more on “challenging and extending pupils’ thinking” within subjects, as this is not yet as evident across the whole curriculum as it is in reading.
- The school must further strengthen its work with parents and carers to ensure “consistent, regular attendance” for all pupils, as some miss out on learning.
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
