About Castle Batch Primary School Academy

Castle Batch Primary School Academy sits within the North Somerset local authority, where it ranks 44th out of 57 primary schools on its combined Key Stage 2 reading, writing and maths expected standard score. That places it in the bottom half of schools locally, some way behind the three highest-ranked peers in the area: Northleaze Church of England Primary School, Winscombe Primary School and St Peter's Church of England Primary School. The school is a mixed, state-funded academy for children aged 2 to 11, with a non-religious character and a current roll of 434 pupils — slightly above its official capacity of 415. It has a nursery provision on site, and its headteacher is Sally Taylor. For families weighing up options in North Somerset, Castle Batch is a solidly performing local school rather than a standout, though its oversubscription rate suggests it remains a popular choice among those who apply.
