Our size is our superpower.
As a truly independent school, Babington is small enough to know and celebrate every child, yet big enough to unlock their potential, we provide a bespoke approach to education for pupils aged 3 to 16.
Within our close-knit community, every child is recognised as an individual — encouraged to grow in confidence, build meaningful friendships and discover their unique strengths.
Guided by our values, we inspire imagination, challenge thinking and nurture each child’s unique potential. We develop confident, curious and compassionate young people with the courage to embrace opportunities, discover their individuality and become the very best version of themselves.
Perfectly situated in the heart of Chislehurst
We are perfectly situated in the heart of Chislehurst being only 3 minutes walk from Elmstead Woods Station and within easy reach of Central London

We’re delighted to have broadened our curriculum this year with the introduction of Dance for pupils in Years 5–8.
Our new Dance curriculum is built around three key principles: Create. Perform. Appreciate. Through these strands, pupils will develop their fitness, dance technique, performance and choreography skills, while also broadening their knowledge and appreciation of dance as an art form.
Our Year 6 pupils have already been getting into the rhythm and thoroughly enjoyed their first Dance lesson!
We’re looking forward to seeing our pupils develop their confidence, creativity and skills as they explore this exciting new area of the curriculum.

What a lovely start to the new school year!
It has been wonderful to welcome back our Nursery pupils and meet our newest little Babingtonians, as they begin their journey at Babington House.
They have settled in brilliantly and have been busy exploring our brand-new EYFS facilities, from our inviting reading area to our creative play zones, where there has been plenty of imagination, discovery and fun!
And there has already been time for learning too - our little Babingtonians even enjoyed their first French lesson!
We’re so excited to see all the adventures, friendships and learning that the year ahead will bring.
Don`t forget our Whole School Open Morning on Saturday 26th September, it will provide the perfect opportunity to come and discover our new EYFS area for yourself. Register via our website.

We are delighted to celebrate the outstanding achievements of our Year 11 students on GCSE Results Day.
This year marks a significant leap forward in our top grades, with over half of all students achieving grades 9–7 across a wide range of subjects, including Biology, French, Further Maths, Fine Art, Textiles and 3D Design.
The breadth of achievement at Babington is equally impressive, with over a third of students achieving grades 9–7 in English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Spanish, Drama and Physical Education. These results showcase the incredible range of talent across literary, STEM and creative subjects.
Most notably, nearly twice as many of our students achieved the highest grades of 9–7 compared with the national average — a fantastic achievement that reflects their exceptional hard work, determination and resilience.
These results are a testament to the dedication of our students, the support of their families, and the commitment of our teaching and support staff. We are immensely proud of everything our Year 11 students have achieved during their time at Babington.
Our students will now take their next steps at a range of grammar, independent and local schools. We wish them every success as they begin this exciting next chapter.
Congratulations, Class of 2026!
