The Batley Buzz was evident at Healey School last Tuesday. The school hall looked superb, all decked out with red and white gingham for the Great Winter Get Together. Healey School put on a tremendous spread with a huge array of sweet and savoury delectable treats. The school doors were open to the whole community and it was wonderful to see Trustees, Governors, school leaders, staff from all across our Trust family of schools, parents/carers, young people and members of the local community.

It really was an incredibly special event with people sharing their stories about their lives working and/or living in Batley, and people making new connections. One elderly lady donated a beautiful tea set which had been a wedding gift to her and her husband. She wanted to support the school, and help leave a legacy for these wonderful afternoon tea events, which benefit the whole community - young and old. 

This is exactly what the Great Get Togethers are all about - bringing people together through one connection at a time. A HUGE thank you to Mrs Lang and the wonderful team at Healey for such a superb afternoon. Healey truly is a school at the heart of their local community.
