Applying to Senior School in Year 7

The majority of children join Bablake in Year 7 but we also encourage applications to join us in Year 8, 9 or 10.

We are delighted to be able to admit pupils all year round and have a small number of places available in Year 7 starting this September. Please contact Admissions on 024 7627 1248 to find out more.

Should you be moving into the area or changing schools, we can accommodate mid-year and mid-term starters where there are places available.
