Bablake Website Rated Best In UK Independent Sector

Bablake learnt earlier this term that its website, as well as its social media engagement, had been rated as best in the UK independent sector at the inaugural The Gold Stars awards, an initiative instigated to recognise the excellent work of marketing departments across the country.

As a very early adopter of social media, already recognised as top in the UK for its social score in 2013 and 2014 by Interactive Schools and only narrowly beaten by Sedbergh School during the last couple of years, the award for our social media was most welcome, however to be rated as best website, a medium established now for almost two decades, was a distinct honour and amid fierce competition.

Webmaster Mr Mark Woodward (also Head of Careers) said: "The Gold Stars highlighted Bablake for its 'fantastic story led website that engages viewers through great visual imagery and daily news updates'. Our very positive online digital portfolio thrives on engaging and regular content, which most usually comes directly and naturally from school life and of course the website draws all this positive action together. We will not rest on our laurels as we want to work with our web designers to improve our website even further, but it is excellent for Bablake to be recognised as a national leader!"

With a web story a day and a keen eye on community, national and international events, we have plenty to talk about and there is enough variety to keep our audience engaged.

If you are not already aware of our complementary social media delivery, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are our strongest platforms.
