He was joined on the platform at the school by the chairman of the governors, the Rev Canon Tattersall, Elizabeth Peacock MP and headteacher Ian Fellows.

Canon Tattersall opened, saying: “Any school which is to play a part in educating boys and girls, either together or single-sex schools, has to look forward.

“The headmaster and his well-qualified staff are always looking for ways to improve the scope and the quality of the academic education offered by the Batley Grammar School.”
