Batley Brilliance was everywhere last week when our schools were bursting at the seams with prospective families visiting our secondary school open events. Upper Batley High School opened their doors last Thursday evening, when parents/carers and future Year 7 learners were able to meet the staff team, see the excellent learning environment and ask any questions they may have.

Batley Grammar School was open on Saturday morning and Grave's Hall was full. The Batley Buzz was definitely in the air. If you have a daughter, then Batley Girls' High School has their open evening this week (4:30-7:00pm) so please take the time to visit the school, meet the Headteacher and his team, and see the high-quality education and exceptional pastoral support on offer.

Our Trust is uniquely positioned to offer single sex education at Upper Batley (for high achieving boys), and Batley Girls' (for high achieving girls) with Batley Grammar School offering co-education for all, with a 400 year history of success.

Batley Grammar School also hosted their Batley Breakfast event last week and a Year 3 learner stole the show. She was incredibly intelligent, articulate and a brilliant ambassador for the school, her community, her family and most importantly a real credit to herself for her confidence and ability to speak so well to a room full of adults about why education matters to her, and why she enjoys attending Batley Grammar School.

Batley really is a brilliant place to learn, and an amazing place to work. Batley = brilliant.
