    Welcome Back, Team Bateman! What a fantastic first day back at James Bateman Middle School! It was brilliant to see our classrooms, corridors and playgrounds full of energy, smiles and excitement again. A warm welcome to our brand-new Year 5 pupils, who have made a wonderful start to their JB journey. We're also delighted to see our Year 6, 7 and 8 pupils return, ready to take on new challenges and opportunities this year. Here's to a year of learning, creativity, friendship and success. We're so proud of the start you've made today and can't wait to see everything you achieve this year.
