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.

In addition, Batley Girls' High School has a flourishing Sixth Form with the best value added score in the authority. The variety of courses, both academic and vocational, means that students of all abilities are well catered for.

Our physical resources are excellent with interactive whiteboards in all rooms, 500+ computers and a fabulous multi-media design suite.

Our Visual Arts specialism provides beautiful displays and excellent results.

Achievement for all
Respect for learning, self and others
Transformation into good citizens and caring young adults.
