About Battle Primary Academy

Battle Primary Academy sits in the top third of Reading primary schools, ranked 11th out of 38 in the local authority, but its headline KS2 results tell a more nuanced story. The school’s proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined stands at 66%, which is five percentage points above the Reading LA average of 61%. That’s a solid, above-average performance, though not among the very highest in the area — the top three schools in Reading all score 83 or above on the ranking metric. Where Battle really stands out is in reading: 78% of pupils hit the expected standard and 39% achieved the higher standard, both well above the national picture. Maths is a touch more mixed, with 76% at expected but only 24% reaching the higher threshold. The school’s average reading score of 106 and maths score of 104 are both above the national benchmark of 100, confirming that Battle is delivering consistently strong core subject outcomes for its pupils.
