Our Ethos & Values

We put the needs of students at the heart of everything we do at Babington. It is our vision that students at Babington will uphold our core values of Respect, Ambition and Resilience.

These core values are outlined in detail for students in our Academy Pledge and the PROUD qualities which together form our Babington DNA: qualities we expect to see every day.

PROUD to be Babington

We are 'PROUD' to be Babington... it's in our DNA!

The Babington DNA is a set of five core qualities, embodied in our pledge, that we expect all Babington students to develop, refine and demonstrate each and every day.

The five core Babington DNA qualities are:

• P - Personal responsibility
• R - Resilience
• O - Offer gratitude
• U - Understand, respect & value myself and others
• D - Dare to dream

We expect our students to strive to uphold these qualities in everything they say and everything they do, every day. By proudly upholding the Babington DNA qualities; taking personal responsibility, being resilient, offering gratitude, understanding, respecting and valuing others and daring to dream, our students will develop into successful, well-rounded, individuals. 

Embodying the Babington DNA qualities will ensure that our students leave Babington Academy with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to thrive in a challenging and ever-changing world, having the confidence and resilience to take risks and continually pursue improvement. By developing, refining and demonstrating the Babington DNA our students will leave Babington Academy with the emotional and intellectual literacy to be effective and active global citizens who have qualifications which give them choices alongside a desire to be life-long learners.
