"Lovely School, Wonderful Staff!"

We've been at Battling Brook for two years now and couldn't be happier. The Christmas Fayre is a highlight of the year and the children always have so much fun. The staff are all incredibly supportive and make a real effort to know each child as an individual.

"Fantastic School, Fantastic Values!"

Battling Brook truly lives up to its aims of equality, active learning, and community. My child has thrived here and the sense of belonging is palpable. We've been particularly impressed with the commitment to outdoor learning and the wonderful events they put on throughout the year.

"AMAZING SCHOOL"

This school is amazing. Great teachers and they are very supportive and are very good when dealing with bullying.I recommend sending your child to this school as everything there is perfect. The facilities at Battling Brook are superb and kept in a fine state. You have lots of opportunities for school trips like going to Paris and sleeping overnight in an aquarium.Overall just a brilliant school.

"Mixed Experiences"

We had a bit of a mixed experience at Battling Brook, to be honest. On the one hand, the staff were always friendly and the facilities are lovely. On the other hand, we found the communication between teachers and parents to be a bit patchy at times. Overall, it's a decent school, but not without its flaws.
