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.

GROWTH MINDSET ON WHEELS
Yesterday, Year 5 were fortunate to welcome Mike Mullen, former BMX Halfpipe Champion from the BMX Academy.
Mike inspired students to step outside of their comfort zones and challenge themselves in new and exciting ways. He encouraged them to learn from their ...mistakes, rise above setbacks, and find those five seconds of courage needed to push through fear.
Most importantly, Mike did not want to hear, “I can’t do it.” Instead, he encouraged students to say, “I can’t do it yet.”
Thank you to Mike for giving up his time to share such an inspiring and motivational message with our students.

PROUD
What a team and what a match!
"Whilst it might not have been the outcome we had hoped for, that final was, without doubt, the highest quality and most entertaining football match I've ever had the privilege of paying to watch.
What's more, The Year 10 ...boys showed our school values in abundance, the way they kept their heads held high, the way they supported and encouraged each other and the resilience they showed in the face of adversity really was outstanding.
It goes without saying that I could not be prouder of them!"

FAVOURITE DAY OF THE YEAR
Year 13 Leavers Day is Mr Ford’s favourite day of the year, as it provides the perfect opportunity for students to reflect on the past two years and recognise the incredible journey they have been on. It celebrates their transition into Sixth Form and highlights just... how much they have grown and matured into the remarkable young adults we see today.
Students are taken on a journey down memory lane, revisiting photos and videos that capture some of their most memorable experiences. From their first days stepping into Sixth Form through to colour runs, primary school discos and the many moments in between, each memory reflects the experiences, friendships and achievements that have shaped their journey towards academic success.
"It is always wonderful to see staff and students sharing laughter, celebrating together and reminiscing on the memories created along the way. Above all, the day serves as a powerful reminder that beyond their achievements, our students have developed confidence, resilience and lasting friendships that will stay with them long into the future.
Most importantly, it has been fantastic to see the positivity, determination and maturity with which Year 13 have started their examinations this week. We wish them every success in the weeks ahead."
