  • We strive for our children to develop a strong work ethic, become reflective, resourceful, resilient, be good at building and forming relationships, as well as possessing the ability to take calculated risks in life.
  • The Sir Donald Bailey Academy is committed to creating an environment where exemplary behaviour is at the heart of productive learning. Everyone is expected to maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, to accept responsibility for their behaviour and encourage others to do the same.

  • We expect every stakeholder to:
    Be Ready to learn. Examples: Arrive on time, bring the correct equipment, listen to instructions, and engage positively in learning.

    Be Respectful to everyone and everything. Examples: Use kind words, follow adult instructions, value others' opinions, and take care of school property and the environment.

    Be Safe in all that they do. Examples: Walk calmly around school, use equipment appropriately, keep hands and feet to themselves, and make sensible choices that keep everyone safe.

    Take responsibility for their own behaviour. Examples: Making positive choices, following instructions, being honest about mistakes, and taking steps to put things right when needed.

    Reflect on their actions and recognise they are part of a community. Examples: Considering how their behaviour affects others, learning from mistakes, showing empathy, helping others, and contributing positively to the school environment.
  • Children’s safety and health will always be our main priority.
  • Our curriculum is based around the key skills for each subject, where ICT and English are common threads throughout, as well as enterprising skills such as developing leadership roles, teamwork and preparing children for economic wellbeing.
