About Battling Brook Primary School

Battling Brook Primary School in Hinckley and Bosworth was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school’s most telling exam metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which stood at 49% in the 2023/24 academic year. That figure is notably below the Leicestershire local authority average of 62%, placing the school 172nd out of 231 primary schools in the county. In the Hinckley and Bosworth borough specifically, it ranks 25th out of 29 schools on this measure, putting it in the bottom half locally. The school’s ranking score of 49 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, and within the East Midlands region it sits at the 78th percentile. While the headline combined figure is modest, individual subject results tell a more nuanced story.
