Welcome to Baines’ Endowed V.C. School

'This is a good school where pupils achieve well. There is a strong family ethos within the school and, consequently, a strong commitment to making every pupil feel valued.' Ofsted Nov 2007

Baines' Endowed School has a proud history of educating many of the children of Thornton and district.  It is our aim and commitment to help the children reach the highest possible personal standards in all of their work. If you are a new or prospective parent – welcome to our school website! 
 

The school has a long history. Opened in 1717, it was one of three schools founded by James Baines, a Poulton draper who left money in his will to ensure the education of the children in this area. Additions and alterations over the years have made the building an interesting mixture of old and new.
