    Final Special Mentions Assembly of the Term What a fantastic way to finish the term at James Bateman. Today's Special Mentions Assembly was a wonderful celebration of the hard work, kindness and achievements shown by our pupils throughout the half term. Each week we come together to recognise and celebrate our pupils, and today was another reminder of just how much there is to be proud of across our school community. A huge well done to everyone recognised today, and to all our pupils for a brilliant half term. We hope everyone has a safe and restful break!
