Welcome to
Simon Balle All-through School
It is a privilege to welcome you to Simon Balle All-through School. Our website is intended to be a window into the highest quality of education that we offer here, and to give you a sense of who we are and our shared vision and values.
We are proud of our all-through school: one school for students from the age of four all the way to eighteen. We are known for our high expectations, first class education and our innovative approach. Our curriculum is broad, and its progressive and sequential nature in every subject ensures that children are inspired and can successfully journey through fourteen years of learning with us. We believe that there is no tension between this academic ambition for all and a holistic education which supports every young person to develop their character and sense of self.

SPOTLIGHT - Sixth Form Enrichment: Criminology
Each year, our Sixth Form students take part in Enrichment — a personalised programme designed to help them explore new interests, develop essential skills, and prepare for life beyond the classroom. With a wide range of opportunities to choose ...from, students select an area that aligns with their passions and future aspirations.
This year, one of the exciting options offered by Mr Prendergast is Criminology.
Last week, our Criminology students delivered outstanding presentations on thought-provoking topics — from crimes that were once illegal but no longer are, to offences that differ across international borders. Their work showcased impressive research, critical thinking, and confident presentation skills, all of which are invaluable for future study and career pathways.
This week, the group are looking forward to welcoming a Senior Policy Adviser to discuss the police use of biometrics, facial recognition, and surveillance. It’s a fantastic opportunity for students to connect their classroom learning with real-world issues and deepen their understanding of modern criminological challenges.

SIMON BALLE SIXTH FORM
Outstanding teaching and learning is key to our success.
However, at Simon Balle Sixth Form, we aim to develop the whole child. Our students benefit from our enrichment programme and the wide range of opportunities available in order to grow as well-rounded ...individuals. It’s important to us that Sixth Form students engage with the school community, take lead positions of responsibility across the all-through school and build confidence and key transferable skills ready to leave Simon Balle at the end of their A levels.
We believe the journey to YOUR FUTURE should be about MORE THAN JUST GREAT A LEVELS.
