At Bayside, we combine high expectations with love, care and respect. We want our children to be ambitious for their future, to aim for greatness and to achieve it. We understand that some children may experience some barriers to their learning. The team at Bayside will work hard with you and your child to remove these to ensure that every child succeeds.
We feel it is a great privilege when parents entrust their child into our care. As such, we promise to work together to ensure your child flourishes. We will strive to make school a place where children will be absorbed in their learning and will discover new and important things about their lives every day.
We are passionate about ensuring that every child reaches their potential and that they leave us ready for Secondary School the next stage in their journey. At the heart of all our work is our belief that: High Expectations lead to High Achievers . Our high expectations extend to all aspects of the Academy's work: academic standards, behaviour, respect, kindness and courtesy.
