Battle Hill Primary School prides itself on being at the heart of the community. Staff value the strong relationships they have with the pupils, their families and each other. Parents and carers praise the school for going ‘above and beyond’ to support them throughout partial school closures due to the pandemic. Paper learning packs and technology were made available. These enabled pupils to access remote learning from home. This is a school with high aspirations for all pupils. Learning about the world of work, pupils are inspired to work hard to follow their dreams. Year 6 pupils aspire to be musicians, environmentalists and archaeologists when they are older. Teachers have high expectations of behaviour. Pupils are polite and respectful towards staff and their classmates. Visitors are made to feel welcome in school. Behaviour in lessons is good. School leaders ensure that support is in place for a small number of pupils who struggle to manage their own behaviour or emotions. Pupils say that bullying in school is very rare. However, they talk about a few incidents that have happened online. School leaders take this very seriously and work closely with families to resolve any issues. Pupils take part in a variety of local sports competitions and dance festivals. They attend local community celebrations, such as samba dancing at the Mouth of the Tyne Festival.
