Batley Girls' High SchoolA Visual Arts College and Sixth Form

Achievement, Respect and Transformation sums up our mission.

Thank you for wanting to find out more about Batley Girls' High School: one of the most improved schools in the country.

We believe the choice of schools is one of the most important decisions parents have to make and we know our school can offer your child a high quality education. This quality is reflected in examination results: in 2008 we achieved the best added value during secondary education of any North Kirklees school. Our students develop self-confidence, self-esteem and a respect for others - qualities that will be of benefit all their lives. We are both ambitious for every individual to achieve their full potential as well as caring, with our own on-site counsellors and an excellent staff student ratio. A brand new Student Wellbeing Centre houses counsellors, a nurse and other experts completing our whole person care.

We put people first. A combination of almost 100 mentors, support assistants and pastoral managers provide a vital human resource, ensuring that every individual gets support, be they gifted and talented, bi-lingual or on the SEN register. We also teach 100 adults a week.
