The Batley Grammar School Philosophy
We are a small, caring and supportive school in which committed and able young people from the ages of 3 to 18 can develop, thrive and pursue excellence in all fields.
We are proud of our success, and we expect everyone to work hard towards achieving our aims, which are:
- To stimulate, challenge and extend all pupils intellectually, and to promote a love of learning.
- To promote the physical and spiritual well being of all pupils.
- To develop self-respect, self-esteem, self-confidence and self-discipline together with respect and consideration for others.
- To create a spirit of community and a sense of citizenship that encourages participation and values contribution.
- To equip pupils to understand the world beyond school and make an effective contribution to it.
In order to achieve the school’s aims, we will .....
- Provide a broad based curriculum, embracing teaching and learning strategies that reach all pupils, yet retaining the flexibility to respond to the needs and talents of individual pupils.
- Provide an appropriate range of learning opportunities, through departmental schemes of work, to develop a broad spread of knowledge, understanding and skills.
- Provide a secure framework of expectations, rewards and sanctions relating to the academic and social aspects of school life.
- Provide opportunities for pupils to contribute to the wider life of the school, and to the community, and to provide opportunities for leadership.
- Offer a spiritual dimension through assemblies, tutorial work, as well as through curricular and co-curricular provision.
- Encourage and celebrate the contributions of all members of the school community, including Pupils, Parents, Support Staff, Teaching Staff and Governors.
