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.

BTEC SPORT SUCCESS
Two weeks ago, our Year 13 BTEC Sport students put their coursework into action, organising and running a series of Induction Events for our new Sixth Form cohort.
As part of their Sports Event Management coursework, students worked together to create a range of ...activities designed to welcome our new Year 12 students, encourage teamwork and communication, and help everyone get to know each other.
Over the next few days, we’ll be sharing some of the highlights, starting with VolleyFest!
VolleyFest was a fun and inclusive volleyball tournament, giving our new Year 12 students the opportunity to get involved, work as a team, communicate and make new connections. With teams, equipment, fixtures and activities all carefully coordinated, it was a fantastic opportunity for our Year 13 students to put their event management and leadership skills into practice.
And then there was the weather...
After weeks of glorious September sunshine, we somehow managed to choose the one wet morning for our events! Thankfully, the rain did nothing to dampen anyone’s spirits.
A huge thank you to all of our new Sixth Form students for getting involved and embracing the events, whatever the weather. You were brilliant!
More highlights coming over the next few days.

ROALD DAHL QUIZ
Last week, our annual Roald Dahl Quiz brought plenty of literary knowledge, competitive spirit and a little bit of Dahl-inspired chaos to the library at lunchtime!
Hosted by Mrs Stock, with quizmaster Mr Belsey putting everyone’s Roald Dahl knowledge to the test, ...students battled it out across a series of tricky questions.
But would you know your Boggis, Bunce and Bean from your esiotrot? Or your Matilda from your Miss Trunchbull? There was only one way to find out!
Well done to everyone who took part, and a huge congratulations to Alexa (7B) on taking the top spot!
A brilliant way to celebrate the wonderful world of Roald Dahl and the joy of reading.
