Everyone’s a learner

At Upper Batley High School, everyone’s a learner. Students,
teachers and parents alike – nobody can ever know all there
is to know, but we like to give it a good try! As a school with
high ambition, we are determined to give every young man in
our care the education they deserve to transform their lives.

We are
family

We believe a good school is like a good
family. Our learners can be peer mentors
for others, and transition ambassadors
for those joining the school afresh from
primary schools. Local people from the
community come into our school and read
with students – we’re dedicated to playing

a strong role in our community.

“The promotion of
students’ spiritual
and cultural values
is a strength.”

Our Student Leadership Group makes active decisions about the
school and give our learners a taste of responsibility. This group
put themselves forward to be the voice of the student body.
These learners are heavily involved in the local community, charity
fundraising and discussing and solving matters put forward by other
learners across the school. Being a member of this forward-thinking
team helps to Educate Tomorrow’s Successful Men.

It’s a unique approach to education and growth.

Go for it

We teach our learners to have faith in their ideas and to
bring them to life. Our legacy in business and enterprise
means our learners have heaps of opportunities to hone
these skills, and tap into their enterprising talent. Our
Dragon’s Den events develop their problem-solving and
preparation skills, as well as letting their imaginations

Ready
for lift off

Our rocket club is one of many after school
activities on offer to learners at Upper Batley
High School. With a range of different materials,
learners team up to create a rocket that can

fly. Learners rely on the STEM subjects, as
well as teamwork. These, along with other
extracurricular activities, reflect our belief that

fun and education come hand in hand.

And beyond...

We’re focused on the boys in our care from the moment
they join and beyond. We do everything in our power to
support and prepare them for the future. Our Careers
Charter Mark means we have the best business links
and career guidance for our learners – propelling them
to success after Upper Batley High School.
