Sport

Sport and exercise are integral to a child’s life at Bablake Junior School. Pupils enjoy two PE and two Games lessons a week as well as swimming. There are also additional team practices in all representative sports.

In addition to the curriculum based sport there are a large number of activities before, after and during school which are enthusiastically supported by the pupils. Pupils are encouraged to take part in these activities and all enjoy the stimulating and varied Sports and PE programme. Skills that are useful in all contexts are taught in a progressive manner through a pupil's career. We have many school teams which are all managed by qualified coaches and we have an exceptional record of success.

Boys have competitive fixtures in football, cricket, hockey, rugby and cross-country. Girls compete against other schools in hockey, netball, rounders, cross-country and tennis.

Particular achievements recently include:

2007  Boys Coventry Cross-country Champions, Alan Stokehill Football Cup Winners

2008  Fairfield Football Tournament  Winners, Alan Stokehill Football Cup Winners, Princethorpe Football Tournament Winners & Bablake Netball Tournament Winners

2009 Warwickshire U 11 County Cricket Champions, Princethorpe Football Tournament Winners, Coventry High Five Netball Champions, Rugby School Under 11 Netball Plate Winners, Girls Coventry Schools Cross-country Champions, Girls Coventry Schools Cross-country Relay Champions, Boys Coventry Schools Cross-country Relay Champions, Boys B Team Coventry schools Cross-country winners, Warwickshire U 11 Boys and Girls Hockey Semi-finalists

Our aim is that every pupil gets the chance to represent the school at some stage of their school career. With this in mind fixtures are organised for A,B,C and even D teams. There is nothing like the thrill of competition to bring focus and a determination to do ones’ best!

The school benefits from excellent sporting facilities with the Swimming Pool, Sports Hall, Tennis and Netball Courts on-site whilst only a mile away Bablake has two Astroturf and many other pitches.
