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.

REWIND
Rewinding back to last May and our Community Open Evening at the Elm Sports Centre.
Twelve months on, we are incredibly proud of what this space has become and the impact it continues to have across Simon Balle All-through School and the wider community. The Elm Sports Centre ...has played a huge role in supporting our PE and Sport department, giving students more opportunities than ever before to take part, compete and develop a love for being active.
Over the past year we have introduced new sports and experiences including kin ball, futsal, inclusive sports opportunities, community basketball partnerships and expanded extracurricular activities for students across all year groups. The facility has allowed us to grow participation, host exciting events and create an environment where students can thrive both physically and socially.
It has been fantastic to see the centre used and enjoyed every single day by students, staff, clubs and the local community.

HIGHLIGHTS
One of the highlights of the Year 13 Sports Afternoon was the highly competitive tug-of-war competition, which brought students together for an afternoon full of teamwork, determination and plenty of laughter.
Students showed fantastic team spirit throughout, supporting one ...another and fully embracing every moment of the competition. The atmosphere was brilliant, with encouragement from across the field as teams battled it out in the sunshine.
A fantastic celebration of the friendships and memories that have defined this Year 13 cohort.

CAREERS PARTNERSHIP
A huge thank you to @@mcmullens_brewing_pubs for their incredible careers partnership with Simon Balle.
Providing our Year 8 students with real world insights into local industry and future career opportunities is invaluable in helping them develop confidence, ...ambition and a greater understanding of the pathways available to them beyond school.
