About this school
Windmill CofE Primary School is a primary academy in Batley. It teaches children aged 4 to 11.
Ofsted has not yet inspected Windmill CofE Primary School under its current framework. Numbers and a report only go so far, so visit in person before you apply.
Ofsted judgement
Windmill CofE Primary School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in September 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Windmill CofE (VC) Primary School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Windmill CofE (VC) Primary School (closed August 2026)
Confirmed by a short inspection, not a full one
Ofsted's most recent visit was a short inspection on 8 June 2022, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. The school's last full inspection took place before September 2019, so its area grades are not part of Ofsted's current published data. Older reports are on the school's Ofsted page.

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
