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.

SIXTH FORM ENRICHMENT
As we come to the end of the second term, our Year 12 enrichment programme is drawing to a close as students now turn their focus towards the upcoming exam season.
Over the past two terms, students have embraced a wide range of opportunities, including our annual ...Sixth Form Colour Run, Senior Sports, the Advanced Musician’s Programme, mock interviews, work experience and a variety of charity events and collections. Many have also contributed their time supporting in the Larch and across the Secondary School as part of our Teachers of Tomorrow development programme.
This year, students have further broadened their experiences through activities such as exploring Criminology and taking part in a mock bar trial, alongside enjoying outlet options including Sixth Form Darts, Art, and fitness sessions at the Hartham Leisure Centre gym.
As enrichment concludes, the focus now shifts to academic excellence, with students preparing for their assessments while also beginning to consider their next steps and life beyond Simon Balle Sixth Form.
We remain proud of the way our students have balanced these opportunities, reflecting our belief that Sixth Form is about 'More than Just Great A Levels'. It is about developing the skills, experiences, and confidence needed for the future.

INCREDIBLE PROGRESS
Day 2 on the slopes and the progress has been incredible!
Everyone moved further up the mountain today, with both the beginner and intermediate groups showing fantastic improvement in confidence and skill. It’s been brilliant to see how quickly they’re ...developing and supporting each other along the way.
A real milestone for many today was getting on the chair lift for the first time - nervous at the start, but quickly turning into excitement as they reached the top!
The intermediate groups tackled more challenging runs and had great fun testing themselves in the jump park. Meanwhile, a beginners group joined the intermediates and advanced groups for a relay race up the mountain - full of energy, teamwork, and plenty of laughs.
Another fantastic day full of progress, fun, and memorable moments. Bring on day 3!
