Vision & Values

Francis Baily Primary School – where Everyone Can Shine

At Francis Baily Primary School, our vision and values guide every decision we make and shape the culture our children experience every day. Rooted in kindness, curiosity and ambition, our ‘Guiding Stars’ help every member of our community to feel safe, valued and inspired to be their very best.

Our Vision

To be a kind, inclusive school where every pupil feels empowered, confident, cared for and inspired.

We strive to offer rich, meaningful experiences, strong community partnerships and a celebration of diversity. Our vision is that all children feel safe, valued and motivated to learn every single day.

Our Mission

To provide an inclusive and positive learning environment where kindness, honesty and trust sit at the heart of all relationships.

Through a vibrant and engaging curriculum, we nurture academic success, personal growth and wellbeing within a safe, supportive community.

Our Values

Our values — Care, Explore, Grow — act as our guiding stars, helping us shine together as a community. They describe how we behave, how we learn and what we aspire to every day. They help shape pupils who are kind, curious and ambitious, and staff who model and nurture those same qualities each day.
