Welcome to the Bainesian Website

To be a Bainesian a person must either attend the school or have attended the school in the past. This website incorporates sections dedicated to Baines Alumni and Baines School Former Pupils' Association (formerly the Old Boys). 

Much of our website is open to non-members and we hope everyone will find something of value on it. Alumni and FPA members, once registered on the site, have access to the dedication features. We hope you will use these and help us to develop them further.
