Welcome to The Frances Bardsley Academy for Girls, a thriving, oversubscribed and highly successful comprehensive school, providing an exemplary education for girls aged 11-18  for over one hundred years. 

We have developed a holistic approach to support the physical, mental and spiritual development of our pupils. We are committed to high standards of behaviour and achievement. A calm and enriched environment is key to successful learning and we pride ourselves on providing this with our many extra-curricular activities and facilities, including our on-site farm and extensive trips and visits programme.

Our school is a rewarding and dynamic place to work and we are proud to be part of the LIFE Education Trust, working collaboratively with schools in Havering and Essex.

The Frances Bardsley Academy for Girls has an Ofsted Good rating. 

"The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. They have created a purposeful, safe, welcoming and happy environment. Pupils have high aspirations, are confident, courteous and articulate. They appreciate the opportunities that the school gives them. These include, for example, a wide range of educational visits and an onsite, vibrant ‘farm’ and pupils said that the school is very supportive."  Ofsted
