THE FANTASTIC CHOICE of subjects, activities and interests is all in place; now it's just down to me to take advantage of it all.

The Potential to Succeed, with the Joy of Discovery

Class sizes are small, with about 24 pupils in each class in the Key Stage 3 years (11-14). For some of the creative and technology subjects, classes are divided into two. Beyond Key Stage 3 (GCSE and A Level) numbers in subject groups are lower. This adjustment in class size reflects the changing demands of the curriculum and guarantees that our pupils gain personal care and attention from experienced and committed teachers.

Our curriculum amply reflects the importance of an understanding of our own and others' cultures. A purpose-built languages block emphasises our commitment to the teaching of modern languages (including French, German, Spanish and Chinese) and classical languages and civilisation. All pupils have opportunities to take part in exchange holidays and other foreign visits. Bablake has a nationally acclaimed weather station which is run jointly by staff and pupils, and visits to historical, geographical and classical sites at home and abroad enrich our pupils' education.
