Across our family of schools our staff teams work hard to ensure all our young people receive a great education, and high quality pastoral care, guidance and support. Our mantra to our staff teams is always be the very best version of yourself, and we ask our young people to do the same. Since we returned to school this term we have held lots of staff training events, our Parents’ Forum groups have recommenced, and our community is working hard together to deliver a great education for all. We hope you enjoyed reading the first edition of our new Trust newsletter “The Batley Buzz” which showcases the great work being undertaken in each of our schools. There will be a new edition every month.

This Sunday is World Mental Health Awareness day and at Batley Multi Academy Trust we take our young people’s emotional health and wellbeing seriously on that day, and every day. Our family of schools offer a wide range of clubs, activities and curriculum enrichment opportunities. These have never been more important than now for our children to grow and to develop skills such as resilience, problem-solving, social interaction and leadership. There really is something for everyone.
