Babington is one of the most diverse secondary schools in the City and caters for students aged 11-16. It was judged as outstanding by Ofsted in March 2013 and we moved into a brand new building in September 2014. We pride ourselves on the outstanding quality of our teaching and our excellent provision for continuing professional development.
Babington is a vibrant, diverse school where our students are our best resource. It is a place where the best teachers and support staff can make a huge difference to the outcomes of our students.
Ethos & Values
The staff of the academy make this pledge to the students.
We all want the best for you, to help shape your future and make a positive difference to you.
We want your eyes opened to the many opportunities that there are in life so that you aim high and believe that you can achieve anything.
We want your horizons broadened through building your character and by promoting self-belief and self-esteem.
We will recognise and nurture the talents, skills and abilities of each and every one of you to enable you to grow and develop and become learners for life.
This sits alongside the Academy Pledge which we expect all students to ascribe to and which is read in assembly each morning.
