Vision & Values

Vision & Values

Our Vision

“Everything is possible for one who believes” (Mark 9:23)

At BFA we are a community that cares deeply about each and every child. As a Church of England School, not only do we want to provide all children with a lifelong love of learning, but we are also driven to ensure that all students are supported and cared for, so they flourish into young people who are safe, secure, and can make a positive difference in God’s world. 

We encourage our students to have:

  • Belief: to always be the best versions of ourselves that we can be.
  • Faith: to find and follow our path in life from a place of faith, knowledge, skills and family support.
  • Aspiration: to achieve greatness and have the courage to flourish with love, compassion and humility.

Our Values

Our values of Respect, Growth, and Community are core to everything that we do, and drive our decision making within and around the academy.

Select each heading below to find out more.

Respect

Kindness – Conduct

Trust, authenticity, dignity, understanding, appreciation, recognition.

Growth

Learning – Resilience

Focus, effort, curiosity, reflection, adaptability, optimism.

Community

Participation – Inclusivity

Belonging, Compassion, identity

Our Mission

To empower and inspire our students to work hard and make good choices based on a strong moral purpose developed by being part of a Christian values-driven community with a high achieving culture.

To ensure our students acquire valuable knowledge, skills and behaviours, along with an appreciation of the power that love and learning can give them, so they can make a positive contribution to their community and wider society.

To build character, resilience, tolerance and ambition in our young people through encouragement to overcome barriers, recognition of the value of diversity and celebration of their achievements.

To serve our community by providing the highest quality of education and support that removes barriers, scaffolds success and raises aspirations for all.
