 Specialist College Status

The school has been approved as a specialist Business and Enterprise College with effect from the 1st of September, 2004. Congratulations also go to our partners at Batley Girls High School and 6th Form Centre who acquired specialist status as an Art College.
We are grateful for the support that many parents gave us in our final push to acquire the necessary private sponsorship of £50,000. We were successful in raising this money and, as a result, the DfES has added to that money for the next four years, giving us an extra £0.5 million. This follows on from the Full Service School money given last term (£0.33 million), over the next two years.

As a specialist business college the school will still continue to offer the range of activities that it currently does but will be able to offer much more as well. Both sums of money will be spent on developing new Business, Maths and ICT facilities for the school as well as attempting to establish Community Education and 6th form courses within the school.
If all goes to plan, a range of Business Studies and ICT courses will be running at GCSE, BTEC and 'A' Level. In addition, courses on E-business, Accounting, Economics, and Video Conferencing will be offered to both pupils and the community.
