About Ninfield Church of England Primary School

Ninfield Church of England Primary School is a primary school in Battle, East Sussex, classified by the DfE as a sponsor-led academy with a Church of England religious character. Around 137 pupils aged 4 to 11 attend the school. The school holds an 'Inadequate' judgement from Ofsted.
