Former Pupils Edited by Ashni Hindocha, Georgia Kelsey and Vikesh Puri. School visits
Bablake 1344
Former Pupils and staff are warmly encouraged to visit Bablake on an informal basis by school archivist Mr Peter Burden (pfb@bablake. coventry.sch.uk) and Alumni Relations Officer Mrs Sylvia O’Sullivan. There are numerous concerts, drama productions and sports fixtures, where former pupils are also very welcome!
Former pupils may be interested to know that Bablake Wines (www.bablakewines.co.uk) is now selling bottles of very acceptable red and white wine and champagne with a ‘Bablake 1344’ label.
Archives We host a vast array of records dating back to 1902, including complete sets of school magazines, photographs, written records, exercise books and much more. If you are interested in viewing such material, Mr Burden will be happy to help out with any enquiries.
Scholarships The Trustees of the Coventry School Foundation Prizes Fund invite applications for: • The Sage Scholarship: tenable in any subject by a former pupil of the school at any university, college or other institute of further education (including professional and technical education) approved by the trustees. • The Colonel Sir W F Wyley Scholarship: similarly available to former pupils, but restricted to those studying science subjects.
Make the most of every opportunity given! Bablake has set the foundations for so many former pupils’ lives and it is inspiring to know we have the stability to create such unique pathways.
The Trustees envisage offering assistance towards the cost of projects, expeditions or travel relevant to an applicant’s subject of study. Applications should be made in writing to the Headmaster, Mr John W Watson, giving full details of the purpose for which a scholarship is being sought. HMC Bulkeley-Evans Gap Year Scholarships are also available via www.gap-year-the-bulkeley-evans.co.uk.
