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.

WELCOME TO SIMON BALLE, YEAR 7!
Today marked the exciting beginning of a brand-new chapter for our new Year 7 students as they joined the Simon Balle community.
It was a fantastic first day, filled with introductions, an exciting Enrichment Fair and their first few lessons. We loved ...seeing everyone settling in, exploring their new surroundings and beginning to get to know the people who will be part of their journey.
And, of course, you all looked incredibly smart in your new Simon Balle uniforms!
We hope you’ve had a fantastic first day and that you’re already beginning to feel at home.
At Simon Balle, belonging matters. It’s about being part of something bigger, building friendships, supporting one another and growing together. Today was just the beginning of what we hope will be an amazing journey.
Welcome to Simon Balle, Year 7. We’re so pleased to have you with us!

WELCOME BACK
We’re delighted to have opened our gates and begun a brand-new academic year at Simon Balle All-through School.
Yesterday, our staff came together for a day of training, focusing on what matters most: building a strong school culture, fostering a true sense of belonging ...and making every single day at school absolutely unmissable.
Today, it was wonderful to welcome our Reception, Year 7, Year 12 and Year 13 students back into school. It has been fantastic to see our school community come back to life and to welcome so many new faces.
Tomorrow, Thursday: all year groups return to school.
Whether you’re feeling excited, nervous or a mixture of both, that’s completely normal. Starting a new academic year or taking the next step in your journey is a big moment, but you’re not doing it alone. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead. We’re ready for it!

YEAR 7 SUMMER SCHOOL
What a fantastic three days it has been welcoming our new Year 7 students to Simon Balle All-through School.
An incredible 96% of our new Year 7 cohort joined us for Summer School, making this one of our most successful Summer Schools yet.
Across the three... days, students have enjoyed a fantastic programme combining high-quality academic activities, pastoral support and a wide range of enrichment opportunities. From exploring new subjects and getting to know their teachers, to working together, trying new activities and making new friends, our new students have already begun to experience what makes Simon Balle special.
Most importantly, our students have been brilliant. They have thrown themselves into activities, engaged positively with staff and one another, and shown us exactly what they can achieve when given the opportunity.
Summer School has been about much more than simply preparing for September. It has been an opportunity to build relationships, establish expectations and create a real sense of belonging before the new school year begins.
We cannot wait to welcome our new Year 7 students back in September and continue the journey together.
A huge thank you to all of the staff who gave their time, energy, enthusiasm and care to make the three days such a success.
Year 7, you have made an amazing start. We are looking forward to seeing what you achieve.
