"Happy and Challenging"

We moved our child to Francis Baily in Year 1 and they've loved every minute of it. The school's focus on creativity and problem-solving has been amazing to see and we've been impressed by the way they cater for different learning styles. The staff are always approachable and the sense of community is really strong.

We've been at Francis Baily for 5 years now and can honestly say it's been a fantastic experience. The teaching is superb, the facilities are excellent and the values of resilience, aspiration and respect are really embedded in everything they do. Our child has thrived here and we've loved watching them grow into a confident and caring young person.

"Pros and Cons"

We left Francis Baily 2 years ago and while we have mixed feelings about our time there, the school still has a lot to offer. On the plus side, the Cornerstones curriculum is really engaging and the teachers are passionate about their subjects. However, we found the pastoral care to be a bit inconsistent at times and the school could do more to communicate with parents. Overall, it's a good school but not without its flaws.
