Last Thursday saw our first ever Trust-wide careers event held at Batley Town Hall.

Our Trust family of schools all came together for the Trust Us event. The aim of which was to be community centric and provide a careers event appropriate for both our primary and secondary age young people, our staff and our community.

We are the Trust at the heart of the Batley community and we know firsthand that if you choose a job you love, you never have to work a day in your life. That's the hope and aspiration we have for our whole community; that our young people will work hard at school, aim high and be successful. They can then secure a job they love and have an extremely satisfying and rewarding career.

The day commenced with an immersive, bespoke drama experience for our younger learners, then a range of providers set up their careers stands and stalls. We were joined by universities, colleges, public services and local businesses - the Town Hall was absolutely packed full of people all excited about what the future can hold for individuals and for our town overall.

The Batley Buzz was evident everywhere. The event was really well attended by members of the local community, parents/carers, our Members, Trustees and Governors. Our incredibly skilled and talented young people are excited about what their future holds.
