From 1st July to the end of Oct BC suffered:

Night - 3984 sorties - 251 losses > 6.3%
Day - 1303 sorties - 56 losses > 4.3%

Is there stats for Luftwaffe bomber?

Fighter Command losses over the Battle of Britain were 17%, though I am not sure if that figure is by sortie.

To put that 300 losses in perspective compared to later in the war, on 31st march 1944 Bomber Command lost 95 aircraft (640 men) in just one single raid on Nuremberg.
