John Emmerson Batty is a Primary Academy School which is a member of the Galileo Multi-Academy Trust , Our school is for boys and girls between the ages of 3 and 11 years. We are a relatively small school with approximately 200 children on roll at any one time. This helps to maintain the family friendly atmosphere that parents, carers and visitors tell us we have.
One comment by a parent which we feel sums up what many parents feel about the school was John E. Batty is.. a nice small community school which has a village feel in a town environment.
Focussing on Core Learning in a Happy Secure Environment We pride ourselves on our traditional values, believing that children should be given a firm foundation in English, Mathematics, and Science. We know that if the children are confident in these areas they are better placed to benefit from all other aspects of the exciting curriculum offered at our school.
At the heart of our ethos is the belief that every child deserves to enjoy success in their learning whilst also feeling happy and secure within their school environment.
