We believe that our school supports pupils and prepares them for the future by providing the framework of the core values, skills and knowledge that they will need to grow both socially and individually into further education and adulthood.

Our core purpose is to educate. We start by assessment, so that we can find out where our pupils are in their education, and we will consider circumstances around the child as why they may find it difficult to access their education. We will then begin to build on positive behaviours and provide support for young people with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties. We will strive to help our pupils develop into mature, successful young adults, who are well supported by our team of staff. We want them to be proud of the school they attend. Every opportunity matters and should be the heart of learning.

Bailey Street provides a high-quality inclusive education for all. Our ambitious and personalised curriculum offers pupils not only the National Curriculum but the life skills and experiences beyond this to flourish in their future lives. We have high expectations of our pupils, our vision is that we aspire to have consistently strong teaching in every class, for every individual. Our ethos is grounded in the principles of Ready, Respectful, Safe. These are the core values that influence every aspect of our educational community.
