iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).It is a real honour to hold the post of Headteacher at Batley Girls' High School and to be part of the Batley Multi Academy Trust. The relationships between schools in our Trust enables us all to thrive and to provide the best possible set of opportunities for learners in our local community.
Batley Girls' High School has a strong history of providing a range of opportunities to inspire, develop and nurture the interests of our young people, through the provision of a wide range of extra curricular activities and experiences. We aim to foster a 'can do' culture, empowering our young people to be innovative, curious and resilient members of the community.
A critical element of this is the close links the school has with parents/carers through our Stronger Together Forum and we welcome all parents/carers of our school community to attend these meetings.
As the Headteacher, I have the privilege of seeing young people working positively in the classroom with staff displaying and developing these wider skills that will enable them to be successful academically and throughout their adult lives. Our website is designed to give you an insight into all elements of life at Batley Girls' High School.
