Beginning their learning journey


'Individual attention in a happy environment' is the ethos at Bablake Pre-Prep. A friendly school with small class sizes enables teachers to provide exceptional care and treat every pupil as an individual. This ensures that children gain confidence as they begin to realise their potential. 

An integral part of our School

Pre-Prep pupils are members of one of the country’s leading independent schools. From an early age your children will share in the ambition the School has for all of its pupils; that within an ethos of care and community, our shared aspirations help assure academic and all-round success. 

A Great Start

Bablake Pre-Prep is a great start to the educational experience and this is the route through which many pupils begin their time with us. Boys and girls join anytime from the September after their third birthday, as space permits. Prospective pupils are expected to visit the school for a morning prior to their being offered a place. Progression through to Bablake Junior School is then the norm.

An all-round education

The School has high expectations of its pupils within the setting of a balanced academic and creative timetable. The curriculum is broad with the emphasis on pupils gaining a good understanding of the core subjects but also offering opportunities for them to develop other interests and talents. French, PE, Music, ICT and PSHE are all included within the school day. Educational visits, concerts, visitors, sports days, fayres and other festival celebrations are also all part of the Pre-Prep's exciting educational experience.

There is more to an education than our core formal lessons. At the Pre-Prep children have the opportunity to take part in many extra-curricular clubs, all taught by qualified specialists, through which they can pursue interests and further expand their horizons. Tennis, Martial Arts, Football, Dance, Choir, Art, Computers, Speech and Drama and individual music lessons are all options which are available.

Valuing all achievement

The School is proud of the pupils' academic and other achievements and rewards children for endeavour, progress and achievement through consistent positive interaction. Reinforcement of commendable behaviour is further enhanced during Assemblies and Prizegiving. 

An extended day

The school is open from 7:45am to 6:00pm. Aftercare and Funzone Holiday Clubs also help busy parents. These activities are run by our own staff so that even very young children can feel comfortable in familiar surroundings, taking part in activities run by people they know. 

Eating

Food is also very important to all of us and each day there is a choice of hot dinners provided by Holroyd Howe, the award-winning national catering company which also provides meals across all Coventry School Foundation schools. The food arrives fresh each day and there is always a vegetarian option. Healthy snacks are eaten at breaktimes. 

Holiday Clubs

A fun, structured and stimulating holiday club runs most days of the school holidays between 8:30am and 5:00pm.
