• Leaving a legacy

  Setting the stage for public speaking

   

  One of our amazing Year 12 students won the regional heat of The Great Debate, which was hosted here at Batley Girls’ High School, one of only two schools in Yorkshire to be selected as a venue.

   

  Young people from across our family of Trust schools came to compete, and spoke for five minutes about people and places they’d researched, that were of local historical significance. Our winner spoke about Batley Variety Club and was chosen by an independent panel of University academics from Leeds Beckett, Newcastle, Bradford and Huddersfield. She will go on to take part in the National Final - watch this space!

   

  Student-led fundraising

   

  Some of our students recently organised a colour theme day to raise money for their chosen charities; Save the Children and Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières) to support the humanitarian crisis.
  
  Our Year 13 BG6 Student Leadership Team also served refreshments at open evening and asked for voluntary donations for these charities. In total over £310 was raised, which is absolutely brilliant, and those students who supported the open evening were truly excellent ambassadors.

  On the new common room

  The common room refurbishment is complete. It has been totally revamped to make it a more welcoming and inspiring place for our students and provide them with a comfortable and modern space to meet, relax or study. 

  It also features its very own branded book vending machine, for which our students will be selecting books in due course.

   

  To prospective students

  We are really excited about the changes happening at BG6, with a new team in place and the updates to facilities. Our mission is for all our students to fulfil their full potential and we support them every step of the way both academically and through enrichment experiences.

  Our focus is on facing the ‘Dream Gap’ head on and giving our young people the power to choose their dreams and ambitions introducing our mantra:
  Your Dream | Your Choice

   

  You can see for yourself at the open evening:
  Thursday 16 November, 4:30-7pm
  With welcome talks from Laura Dixon, Director of BG6 and Gary Kibble, Headteacher of Batley Girls’ High School at 4:30pm, 5:30pm and 6:30pm.
