Welcome toBatley grammar school 

 

 

At Batley Grammar School we aim to nurture our young people in a caring educational environment, enabling them to grow into confident, respectful, independent and successful learners. In doing so, we equip them with the depth of character and enthusiasm necessary to aspire, thrive and prosper in future endeavours.

We pride ourselves on providing a stimulating learning environment that is full of opportunity and caters for the needs of all children and young people from Foundation Stage through to GCSE.

We are a caring school, with a real family atmosphere and a commitment to giving every child the individual attention they need to thrive. Our dedicated staff work closely with students and parents/carers to maintain the highest quality education in a lively, happy environment which breeds success.

Each individual is encouraged to make a purposeful contribution to our strong learning community, both in the classroom and in a comprehensive range of extracurricular activities.

We are proud of our 400-year history, but we have also learned from it and evolved to provide an education fit for the 21st century. We blend the best of traditional values with modern facilities and approaches to provide an excellent model of teaching and learning within a philosophy of calm professional purpose. 

We are also proud to be part of the Batley Multi Academy Trust, whose purpose is to provide a first-class education through our family of schools. To find out more information about our Trust, please click here.

We are happy to receive visitors and prospective students and their parents/carers by arrangement, and look forward to showing you our exceptional school in action.

Press Statement March 2024


A spokesperson for Batley Multi Academy Trust said:
“We are extremely proud of the school and of our community, and how both
have moved forward together so positively from the very difficult period in 2021.
Those events required us to support all our students, their families and our staff,
including the teacher involved, for whom we provided counselling and wider
support. We remain clear that we delivered on these responsibilities and that we
followed due process. This included immediately establishing an independent
investigation, accepting its findings and acting on them.


“We are therefore disappointed by today’s report. We do not recognise much of
what is in it, its description of the events, nor the characterisation of the school
and community. We let the Government know ahead of publication that its draft
contained a number of factual inaccuracies but note that these have not been
corrected.


“We are also surprised that the authors of a report on social cohesion decided
that the right thing to do was name our school and identify some individuals.
However, our school and community is in a very positive place and we know that
this report will not upset that.”
