About Batley Parish CofE Primary Academy

Batley Parish CofE Primary Academy received a Requires Improvement rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in 2022. This is the same overall rating the school held in its previous graded inspection in 2018. The picture is more nuanced than that headline suggests, however. Inspectors rated the early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes all as Good, with the weaker areas being the quality of education and leadership and management, both judged Requires Improvement. The school is a Church of England primary in Kirklees, with Louise Sennett as headteacher. It has 202 pupils on roll against a capacity of 275, and 28.5 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals. The school also offers nursery provision for children from age three.
