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.

HOPE CUP SUCCESS
This week, our Year 5 and 6 football team delivered a fantastic performance to win the Hope Cup Final with a hard-fought 2–1 victory.
It was a closely contested match, but two excellent goals from Ben proved decisive, alongside some outstanding defending that helped... secure the win.
The team have shown great commitment and determination throughout the year, working incredibly hard to reach the final, so it was especially rewarding to see them achieve the success they truly deserved. A special mention must go to the Year 6 players, who played a key role in bringing the squad together, supporting the Year 5 players, helping them settle into the team, and building their confidence. Their leadership and teamwork were evident throughout the tournament against some really difficult opponents, especially the 1/4 final vs Bengeo!
Proud!

BRAND NEW
Yesterday, our year 12 Physicists got to be the first students to try out the brand-new Pasco temperature probes purchased for us by the PSA. These link to Pasco SPARKvue allowing some excellent data handling skills to be developed.
Students kicked off their thermal physics ...topic by monitoring in real time the temperatures involved when they immersed a red hot nail into water. They used specific heat capacity to calculate the temperature that the nail was able to reach in the flame. We are excited to be able to incorporate this fantastic ICT resource into further practicals across the key stages and across the science subjects.
Today they are booked to be used in an energetics experiment for GCSE Chemistry.

SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY!
At the end of this month, we celebrate one year since the opening of the Elm Sports Centre, a facility that has transformed sport and physical activity for our students and the wider community.
It is hard to believe that in July 2024, the front of the school looked... completely different. The journey began with a groundbreaking ceremony, followed by demolition work during the summer. What followed was a remarkable nine month transformation, driven by vision, commitment, and collaboration.
The Elm Sports Centre now stands as a lasting result of that journey, continuing to support participation, development, and community use every day. We look forward to celebrating this special anniversary!
