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.

HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY!
Today at Simon Balle All-through School we celebrated the joy of reading together by embracing the power of shared reading. Shared reading is when people read and explore a text together, creating opportunities to discuss ideas, build understanding, and enjoy stories as a ...community. It helps develop confidence, strengthens comprehension, and most importantly nurtures a lifelong love of books.
Within the Larch today, classes spent time reading with one another, sharing stories and discovering new texts side by side. It was fantastic to see pupils engaged, supporting each other, and truly enjoying the experience of reading together.
Moments like these show just how powerful modelling reading can be. When students see reading in action—shared, celebrated, and enjoyed—it helps to nurture a genuine passion for literature that can last a lifetime.
A wonderful way to celebrate World Book Day!

AN INSPIRING CAREERS SESSION
We were delighted to welcome Industrial Designer Benjamin Greaves back to Simon Balle All-through School to deliver a passionate and inspiring careers session to our Year 12 3D Design students.
It was fascinating to hear about Benjamin’s journey from A ...Level student to professional designer. He shared his experiences of studying a creative and practical subject through a university degree impacted by Covid, and gave students the opportunity to see examples of his latest designs and portfolio.
Following the session, Benjamin spent time looking at students’ current design projects, offering valuable advice on next steps, future pathways and how to make the most of the design facilities available as part of our Sixth Form.
It was especially rewarding to hear someone speak so positively about following their passion, and to see how the teaching and guidance he received at GCSE and A Level helped inspire the path he has taken today. Thank you, Benjamin, for returning to support and inspire the next generation of designers.
