The atmosphere at James Bateman is very special and we welcome visits to our school so that you can experience it for yourself.

We are consistently ranked as one of the highest performing middle schools in the county. High academic standards are achieved within a caring and supportive school community.

    We are incredibly proud of our Year 7 and Year 8 teams who took part in the History Middle School Leaders Competition at Bilbrook Middle School. It was a true test of their historical knowledge, and they represented our school brilliantly with excellent behaviour, determination and resilience. Although we did not win this time, we could not be prouder! #HistoryCompetition #ProudSchool #Resilience #Teamwork
