IT Facilities

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Designated Computing suite

Our computer room is fully equipped with 20 computers with additional equipment such as cameras and programmable ‘Bee-bots’, and a smart, touch screen interactive board.

Children have access to a range of educational software and resources, designed to develop digital skills and familiarise them with using a computer. With a focus on online safety, we develop responsible, careful and kind use of technology.

ART, DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY

Sparking creativity

Our aim is to encourage artistic development in all our children. Children have dedicated art lessons in which they can express themselves using a range of media. They are taught specific art skills and how to use art equipment appropriately.

Our art and design classroom is a fantastic creative space packed full of art and craft resources. We have a wealth of art supplies including paints, crafting materials and clay for the children to use.

Bablake Juniors - Art

Lucky children to have six acres of countryside at their disposal – it must feel like an enchanted world to those so young. There’s a large, attractive orchard where the children learn about nature, gather fruit and make pies; a large chicken coop where the current chickens were eggs originally hatched by the children.

OUTDOORS

Dedicated outdoor learning areas

Our outside learning spaces are second to none. We offer secure, covered outdoors areas for both Nursery and Reception children.

The Orchard has a selection of fruit trees and logs for seating. Our large Forest School area offers the opportunity for building dens and camp fires. We hold a variety of sports in our field and tennis court.

All our children love the vegetable and flower patch and the chicken coop is a firm favourite.

Fostering a love of reading

Our library plays a key role in our teaching and learning processes, providing a focal point for reader and literacy development. It is a welcoming and relaxing space designed to develop children’s love of literature from a very young age.

Our superb library space is well stocked with carefully chosen books to inspire and enthuse a love of reading amongst our children.
