It is difficult to comprehend that 2022 is almost over and this is the last CEO blog of the year. Our family of schools are a hive of activity this week with festive productions, performances and end of term celebrations. The Batley Buzz is tangible in all of our schools and there are so many wonderful achievements to celebrate this term.

Our schools are all collecting food and hygiene products for local food banks as part of our 'bring a tin to get in' campaign. It is a difficult time for many families this winter so the more we can all help each other, the better. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. 

If you are able to make a contribution - even just one tin of food, one packet of rice, or one tube of toothpaste - your donation would be most welcome. TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More.

Please just pop into any of our schools and leave your donation at the main reception.

The photograph accompanying this blog shows a wonderful piece of artwork on display at Field Lane Junior, Infant & Nursery school. This work was created by children and their parents/carers with a local artist. It represents love, friendship, respect, community and that we all have far more in common than that which divides us.

Have a wonderful festive break and we look forward to an exciting 2023 ahead!
