- 15 Sep 2026A brand new way to get around for James Bateman! We're delighted to introduce our brand new minibus, supplied by Car, Van and Minibus World ! This fantastic new addition to Team JB is going to open up a whole new way of getting our pupils out and about, creating opportunities, making memories and taking learning beyond the school gates. Whether it's trips, visits, competitions, events or experiences, this minibus is going to help us go further and make sure there's always a way forward. There might be a few twists and turns along the way, but one thing is certain... NOTHING IS GOING TO GET IN OUR WAY! A huge thank you to CVM World for helping us find a new way to make even more happen at James Bateman. The Bateman Blueprint is paving the way for where we go next!View This Post
