Bablake School has provided the highest of standards of education to children in Coventry and the surrounding area for over 400 years. It has a reputation for outstanding achievements in terms of academic, cultural and sporting success. A new, purpose-built Junior School opened in September, 1993.
Thus the boys and girls entering Bablake will grow up together in a school which sets high academic standards as a goal, which offers a wide and rich variety of opportunities outside the classroom, and where there is friendship, care and co-operation between pupils and staff and between School and parents.
Throughout the education of a pupil at Bablake our aims are to -
1. Promote academic excellence by means of a broad balanced education and to develop the skills, attitudes and knowledge that will enable pupils to adapt to a fast changing world and to meet the needs of the 21st century.
2. Provide a happy, caring and stimulating well ordered environment in which individuals may fulfil their potential socially, personally, spiritually and intellectually.
3. Develop each pupil as an individual, valued in his or her own right, able to play a reasonable role in the school community and eventually in society.
4. Encourage all pupils to participate in sporting and cultural endeavour, to work hard at all they attempt and to achieve the highest individual standards.
5. Full Scholarships and Bursaries are awarded in the light of both the Entrance Examination performance of a child and parental income. Bursaries range from 10% to 50% fee remission while scholars receive 100% fee remission. Bursaries are available in the Sixth form and both Music and Academic Scholarships are awarded. These are for 25% and 50% fee remission.
At present, approximately 30% of pupils receive some form of financial assistance and it is the school's aim, through our Bursary and Scholarship schemes, to give able children whose parents could not otherwise afford the full fees, the opportunity to attend Bablake and remain until the end of their schooling at 18.
