Welcome to
The Trust at the heart of the Batley community
This summer has seen so many fantastic site development works to further improve and develop our school learning environments for all our learners across our Trust family of schools. While some staff, and most of our learners (except those in summer school where great fun is had by all!) had a good rest, our operations and site teams worked hard to transform our schools. The summer holidays provide the timespan required for more major development works.
In summer 2024, these works have ranged from new paths and steps, to total makeovers of learner toilets at Healey, new signage internally and externally at Batley Grammar, new gates, fencing and CCTV, LED lighting and new flooring, and a brand new food technology room at UBHS - thanks to a huge grant from the Wolfson Foundation of over £100,000. We can't wait to get Batley cooking in this modern, high-tech food room and see the fantastic gastronomic creations our learners can produce.
If you would like to visit our superb schools and see the learning environments first-hand, our secondary schools have their open events coming up soon:
Upper Batley High School: Thursday 19 September 5:00-7:00pm
Batley Grammar School: Saturday 21 September 9:00am-12:00pm
Batley Girls' High School: Wednesday 25 September 4:30-7:00pm
We are now planning our development work for summer 2025 and this will include a new SEND space and library update at Batley Girls', PE changing room refurbishment at UBHS, plus there are some exciting ideas taking shape for the development of a lecture theatre with 3D video projection and a community garden! Watch this space for further details.
Exciting times ahead! As an acclaimed man once said; "If you can dream it, you can do it."
