As we begin the new academic year, it is always an exciting time for our school community. It is a chance to reflect on what we have achieved together, look ahead to the year to come and, most importantly, think about the opportunities we can create for every learner.

 

Last year was a year of real success at Upper Batley High School. Our learners made excellent progress, both academically and personally, and we saw so many examples of determination, resilience and ambition. We should be incredibly proud of what they achieved.

 

Our mission: One big family where everyone thrives.

Our school vision is: A school where kindness is the standard, ambition is the expectation and every young person succeeds.

Our highly skilled and dedicated staff team works hard every day to make this a reality. They genuinely care about our learners and are committed to supporting, challenging and encouraging them to be the very best they can be.

 

We will continue to do this through our Culture of Kindness - creating a school where everyone looks out for one another, treats others with respect and understands that kindness is a strength. We want this to be reflected in the way we speak, behave and support each other every day.

 

At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Believe, Achieve, Succeed.

 

Together, our Culture of Kindness and these values will help our learners believe in themselves, achieve their very best and succeed in whatever path they choose.

 

We are excited to continue working closely with parents/carers. Our partnership with you is incredibly important, and together we can give our young people the support, encouragement and opportunities they need to achieve great things.

 

As I often say, "Every new beginning holds the promise of greatness." I look forward to another successful year and to seeing our learners grow, achieve and succeed as part of our one big family.

 

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.
