Admissions Starting school for the very first time or transferring schools at a later stage can be an exciting time...We're here to make it easier. Principal's Welcome Welcome to The Sir Donald Bailey Academy, a place where children are happy, and are encouraged to be aspirational and to have a dream. Latest OFSTED The school's recent OFSTED inspection in June 2023.
This was an ungraded inspection and the report confirmed the school retained its 'good' grading. Our Values Our values are Be Ready, Be Safe, Be Respectful, Ambition, Discipline, Positivity, Respect, Team Player, Work Ethic.
We believe strongly that at Sir Donald Bailey we must equip children with the necessary basic skills in Mathematics and English so that they have the tools to succeed as they move through secondary school and beyond.
