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