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.

BRITISH SCIENCE WEEK
We are celebrating British Science Week at Simon Balle All-through School with a series of exciting science activities. British Science Week is a national celebration of STEM organised by the British Science Association and this year’s theme is curiosity which encourages ...students to ask questions, explore ideas and discover how science shapes the world around them.
Throughout the week our students are taking part in hands-on engaging activities that connect science beyond the GCSE and A level curriculum giving them the opportunity to experience science in different ways. Activities include the Physics Motion Match Challenge where students use motion sensors to bring motion graphs to life, while Biology rat dissections and Chemistry Fizz Whizz Bang demonstrations spark hands-on curiosity and show how different branches of science connect in exciting and unexpected ways.
Thank you to Dr Bates and everyone that got involved in today's Physics session.

MORE MOMENTS TO SHARE
Yesterday, on World Book Day, Reception and Year 6 pupils enjoyed some special shared reading time together in the bright sunshine. It was wonderful to see our youngest and oldest learners in The Larch sharing stories, listening carefully, and enjoying books side by ...side.
Experiences like this show the power of reading role models and how shared reading can inspire a love of books at every age.

INSPIRED BY HEYNE TILLETT STEEL
We ended National Careers Week in style this afternoon by welcoming Tom Curnock, Harry Smith and Johnny Flint to Simon Balle All-through School to speak with our students about their careers as Engineers, Recruiters and Technicians at @heynetillettsteel
...With so many students keen to learn more about the engineering industry, we are excited to be working with Heyne Tillett Steel to provide greater insight into careers in Civil and Structural Engineering. It was particularly special to welcome Tom and Harry back to Simon Balle, having both studied here themselves, and who were keen to return during National Careers Week to share their experiences and professional journeys.
The team inspired students not only by showcasing projects they have worked on, but also by giving real depth and detail into the thinking behind their work. They spoke about the considerations involved in problem solving, the technical challenges they encounter, and the aesthetic decisions made when delivering projects for clients.
Our students asked a number of thoughtful and probing questions throughout the session and will continue reflecting on their own future pathways in the weeks ahead.
A huge thank you to Tom, Harry and Johnny, not only for giving their time today, but also for generously offering a number of work experience placements to help our students begin exploring their own journeys into the industry.
