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.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH | FINAL DAY
A beautiful sunrise greeted our Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh students as they began the final day of their expedition.
Mr Tweed has highlighted that the students have been amazing throughout the trip, rising to every challenge they have faced and showing ...great determination, teamwork and resilience.
The group are hoping to be back before the end of the school day. We are sure your child will let you know when they are getting close to home!
Well done to everyone who has taken part. What an achievement.

HOME LEARNING
As our young people move from Year 6 into secondary school, many worry about the amount of homework they will receive. Parents and carers can play a vital part in easing the anxieties by offering reassurance and encouragement.
At secondary school, Home Learning is ...introduced gradually. It is not something to be feared - pupils are given support, guidance and plenty of time to complete their tasks.
Joining Year 7 is an exciting new chapter filled with endless possibilities for growth, learning and new friendships.
Ready to grow. Ready to belong. Ready to shine.

DofE TRIP UPDATE
After a rainy start to the day, the weather improved and everyone enjoyed some lovely warm sunshine.
We were pleased to hear from Mrs Priestnall, who managed to get in contact despite the poor signal. It was great to know that all was well.
Everyone was safely... back together and enjoyed a fun social deduction game this afternoon, with plenty of laughter, teamwork and a healthy dose of suspicion!
Another great day of adventure, teamwork and making memories.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH | TRIP UPDATE
We’ve heard from Mr Tweed with an update from our Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh expedition.
After completing a challenging 14km hike yesterday, there were plenty of smiles back at camp as students enjoyed some games before gathering around the campfire for... s’mores.
Following a downpour this morning, the groups have now set off on their next hike, taking them around the beautiful Ashridge Estate.
The phone signal is very poor, so updates and photos are coming through when they can. We’ll share more from the expedition as we receive it.
