Babington Academy

Babington Academy A diverse and inclusive community built on Respect, Ambition, and Resilience. We are designated as a Flagship School through the Inclusion Quality Mark.

At Babington, every learner is valued, supported, and encouraged to achieve without limits Situated in North-West Leicester, Babington Academy is a larger than average secondary school proudly serving students from across the city. It’s a very exciting time for everyone involved with the academy and we are very proud of our achievements over the past few years. This is an award which celebrates our inclusive ethos and provision, which is exemplified by our Designated Specialist Provision (DSP) for speech, language, communication and autism; we are proud of this provision and the range of other awards we have achieved, including recently being accredited with the World Class Education Quality Mark, the School Mental Health Award which is delivered by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health in Schools, and the National Online School Safety Award. Whilst we are very proud of these awards and achievements, what makes us most proud are our amazing students and their achievements. Our students leave Babington with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to thrive in a challenging and ever-changing world. We support our students to develop the Babington DNA ‘PROUD’ qualities which ensures our students leave us with the emotional and intellectual literacy and resilience that they need to be effective and active global citizens. We strive for them to leave with qualifications which give them choices, alongside a desire to be life-long learners.

Discord gives young people a space to chat, play games and join communities based around shared interests.
While it can be a positive way to connect with friends, there are also important risks for parents and educators to understand.
Our latest guide highlights:
• Contact with strangers
• Harassment and harmful behaviour
• Exposure to inappropriate content
• Gaming and socialising becoming a distraction
• Spending and subscription risks
It also shares practical advice on using Discord’s Family Centre, reviewing privacy and spending settings, talking openly about suspicious behaviour and agreeing clear expectations around screen time.

Character.AI enables users to create and interact with AI-powered characters that can behave like friends, mentors, fictional characters or romantic partners.
While these tools can feel engaging and emotionally supportive, they also introduce important safeguarding, wellbeing and privacy considerations for children and young people.
Our latest guide supports parents, carers and educators in understanding the risks and opening constructive conversations around AI companionship.
The guide explores:
• Inappropriate content and unreliable advice
• Emotional dependency and blurred boundaries
• Privacy concerns linked to personal information
• Warning signs such as secretive or excessive use
• Withdrawal from real-world activities and relationships
• Practical steps around age settings, limits and reporting concerns
With clear, accessible guidance, this resource helps adults support safer, more balanced and informed use of AI character platforms.
