The Curriculum
Babington House School strives for academic rigour in all areas and encourages pupils to become confident and able to think for themselves. GCSE’s are taken in Year 11 and A Levels in Year 13.
Games & The Arts
We are committed to outstanding music, drama, sport and the arts in their broadest sense and we offer a wide selection of clubs, societies and extra-curricular opportunities which go on before, during and after school.
Pastoral Care
Well known for its happy and supportive environment and, consistent with our aim of developing each child individually, pastoral care is one of our greatest strengths. The children are well cared for in small groups, with a form teacher who gets to know them well and with whom parents are encouraged to communicate. Our qualified Teaching Assistants are also essential in providing a very high and professional level of pastoral care.
University Places
A-level results are excellent and university applications very well supported achieving the first choice of university for the majority of our Sixth Form pupils.
Head Teacher’s Philosophy
The boys and girls receive a first class education and enjoy coming to school. They grow in confidence and maturity in the time they are with us and make very close friendships. We provide an academic environment which is tailored to the needs of your child, believing that bright pupils benefit from carefully monitored and well directed learning, where self- discipline is highly prized and where everyone is known as an individual.
Outstanding Characteristics
An ‘Excellent’ School. Highest level achieved in all areas and across every age group from 3 to 18. (ISI School Inspection November 2016)
