Welcome to
The Trust at the heart of the Batley community
On Saturday we held our Trust Annual Governance Conference 2024. The event was very well attended and the Batley Buzz was definitely in the air. This annual event brings together our Members, Trustees, Governors and Central Trust Team to discuss our strategic plans for the year ahead, and how Governors at all levels help our schools to deliver on those plans and ensure we practice our mission of being the Trust at the heart of the Batley community. Our work focuses on three key areas: our learners, our staff and our community.
We currently hold three key annual events that are pivotal for our Trust community: the strategy day our Trustees lead with the Central Team and the Chairs of our Local Governing Boards in June; then our Trust Annual Conference in September, for all our staff, begins the new academic year; followed by our Annual Governance Conference.
Our Trust work is informed by all our key stakeholders and these events are a fantastic way to bring people together to share creative ideas and strategies for success. All of this helps to build an incredibly strong team ethos in Batley.
Our Governance team made three pledges, which form the pillars of their support for our Trust family of schools for the year ahead:
In Batley we have bucked the national trend and continue to recruit highly skilled and experienced Members, Trustees and Governors. We have a 70-strong team now and are always looking for more great people to join that team. If you are keen, enthusiastic, forward-thinking and able to support our Trust family of schools in a Governance role, we would love to hear from you.
The Governance team is led by our outstanding team of Governance Professionals. You receive advice, guidance and ongoing support from the moment you express an interest in joining our team. If you have the right skills to add even further capacity to our team please contact us at:
