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.

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.

CAREERS IN LAW
Today we were delighted to welcome Alex Willis from Rosenblatt Law to speak to our Sixth Form students about careers in Law.
Delivering an engaging presentation without the aid of slides, Alex confidently guided students through the wide range of pathways available to ...those interested in pursuing a legal career. He spoke in detail about the academic study involved, the assessments and qualifications required, routes into training contracts, and offered valuable insight into the day-to-day life of a Solicitor.
As a former Simon Balle student, Alex’s session was particularly meaningful. When he was studying his GCSEs and A Levels here, it was clear he had the aspiration and work ethic to succeed. It was fantastic to welcome him back to Simon Balle All-through School to share his experiences, practical advice and passion for law with our current A Level cohort.
Thank you, Alex, for an outstanding and inspiring session, and for giving our students such valuable insight into the journey from Simon Balle student to legal professional.
