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 NEW YEAR!
We hope everyone in the Simon Balle community has enjoyed a restful and festive break, with time to relax and connect with loved ones, whether at home or away. December brought so many wonderful achievements, both academically and across the wider life of the school, making the ...holiday a well-deserved chance to rest and recharge.
As we look ahead to the New Year, we wish you all a very happy and healthy 2026, full of opportunity and meaningful experiences. The start of a new year offers a renewed chance to learn, to grow, and to support one another within and beyond the classroom. At Simon Balle, we value our distinctive culture, rooted in respect, kindness and high expectations. With this in mind, we begin again—nurturing our foundations and maintaining our ambition for every young person.
With commitment and confidence, we enter 2026, grateful for your continued partnership and trust. From our dedicated staff to our supportive parents and carers, from our experienced governors and trustees to our resilient and optimistic young people, it is through our collective purpose that the year ahead begins with such promise. It is a privilege to lead and learn alongside you all. May 2026 be a year in which every student from age 4 to 18 belongs, achieves and thrives.
Mrs Rachel Kirk and Mr Mike Moss, Co-headteachers

HIGHLIGHT
Celebrating individual achievements has been a real highlight of the term through our Good News cards. It has been wonderful to recognise and share the successes, effort, and positive attitudes of our students. Each Friday, staff are also encouraged to make a Feel Good Friday phone ...call home, taking the time to celebrate our amazing students and share their achievements with families. These moments of recognition make a real difference and help create a positive and supportive school community.

Interhouse sport has been a highlight of the term, bringing energy, teamwork, and friendly competition to our school community. It has been fantastic to see so many students taking part, developing new skills, and supporting one another both on and off the field. These events not only... inspire sporting excellence but also build confidence, resilience, and a real sense of belonging. Well done to all our students for their commitment and enthusiasm throughout the term!
