James Bateman Middle School

We all learn best when we are happy and supported, challenged and encouraged. At James Bateman we strive to make sure learning is enriching and enjoyable. We work with every pupil to nurture their individual abilities and to equip them for success, both academically and in terms of life skills.

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. Our focus is on excellence in all that we do. Our school community of pupils, parents, staff and governors all work together to provide an engaging learning environment that ensures each pupil fulfils their potential.

    First Special Mention Assembly of the Year! Today we held our very first Special Mention Assembly of the new school year at James Bateman Middle School. It was a wonderful way to come together as a school community and celebrate the fantastic start our pupils have made. A very warm welcome goes to our brand-new Year 5 pupils, who have settled in brilliantly, as well as to all our other new pupils who have joined us this September. You're already becoming an important part of Team Bateman. We can't wait to celebrate more hard work, kindness and achievements in the weeks ahead!
