A thoroughly modern school built on traditional values

We firmly believe that James Baines would have approved of his school today. In 1717, the school was founded under his Will, to provide care and learning for the young people in the township of Poulton-le-Fylde.

He understood very clearly the benefits and opportunities to be gained from a good education, and these same principles have guided work at Baines ever since. The traditions from which the school has grown have given us the values of academic excellence, hard work and self-discipline, which are embodied in the school motto “Nil Sine Labore” (Nothing Without Effort).

Today, as a Voluntary Aided (non-denominational), non-selective comprehensive school, Baines continues to provide that pedigree of education for all of our pupils from induction in Year 7 through to the young adults of Years 12 and 13.

Baines School has always been proud of the fact that it regards the education of young people as a partnership, a partnership between our pupils, the teaching staff, the non- teaching staff and above all the parents and carers. As parents, you will expect the school to provide your child with the best education possible. In turn, we look forward to a positive contribution to school life in whatever manner you are able, particularly by your attendance at some of the many functions which are held during each school year.

Our purpose at Baines is to continue our Founder’s wishes — to provide the kind of education and experiences that give pupils the best possible opportunities, now and for the future. If you are considering Baines for your children, be assured that in this frequently changing world, we will never lose sight of our guiding principle — that of a continuous, caring and first-class education.
