The Trust is passionately committed to the communities of Batley, Birstall, Dewsbury and our surrounding areas, serving our local learners and their families in order to secure excellent educational outcomes, partnered with high aspirations. Batley Multi Academy Trust currently comprises Batley Girls’ High School; Batley Grammar School; Field Lane Junior, Infant and Nursery School; Healey Junior, Infant and Nursery School; Manorfield Infant and Nursery School and Upper Batley High School. We provide high quality education for all our young people regardless of their background or starting point. Collaboration across our Trust family of schools enables us to share expertise, knowledge and best practice to ensure academic and pastoral excellence, with all schools embracing the same overall ethos and values, whilst maintaining their own unique characters. 

Batley Grammar School is rated as “Good in all areas” (Ofsted, November 2024). We aim to blend our traditional ethos and culture with modern approaches to teaching and learning. Visitors to Batley Grammar School frequently comment on our school's friendly atmosphere, our calm and purposeful learning environment and how we model our values of respect, community and resilience in every area of our work. At Batley Grammar School, we value colleagues who take pride in their work and contribute to the school’s vibrant life, including its extra-curricular programme.

We are looking for someone with the enthusiasm to engage and provide holistic support for our learners. You will work as part of a team including teachers and other staff to assist learners in overcoming their barriers to learning so they can achieve their full potential. This will include providing practical support for learning, educational activities and helping them to develop social skills, in order to secure physical and emotional wellbeing. 

This is an exciting opportunity to join a supportive forward thinking Trust, who in return for your commitment and hard work, will support you to achieve your own career goals and aspirations.
