The school was created in the Victorian era when the Battle Church School was amalgamated with another school founded by Lady Elizabeth Langton. The current school has modern classrooms equipped with digital technology, well stocked libraries and dedicated staff.
We are situated in beautiful surroundings and boast one of the best outdoor spaces in the area, with two adventure play spaces, two outdoor 'forest school' classrooms and a fenced all-weather sports pitch.
