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.

AN INSPIRING AFTERNOON WITH NASA AND THE ARTEMIS II MISSION
Last week, Simon Balle students had the rare opportunity to attend a special NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration event at Imperial College London and meet two engineers who worked on the Artemis II mission, Howard Hu ...and Branelle Rodriguez.
"Artemis II recently completed its historic journey around the Moon and back to Earth, carrying humans farther from our planet than ever before. Our students heard first hand about the engineering behind this remarkable mission, including the development of the spacecraft, living quarters, propulsion systems, safety systems and landing parachutes.
The students were thoroughly engaged throughout the event, taking part in an inspiring question and answer session and hearing about the challenges and rewards of working on a mission of such scale.
Among the many messages that resonated with our students was the importance of developing problem solving skills, approaching challenges creatively and persisting despite setbacks. Branelle Rodriguez shared how she pursued her dream of working for NASA, applying eight times before achieving her goal.
The engineers also reminded us that while their work is helping to take humans further into space, with the Moon and eventually Mars on the horizon, the knowledge and technology developed through these missions can contribute to a greater good for humanity.
We left Imperial College feeling enriched, inspired and reminded that with curiosity, creativity and persistence, our own dreams can take us further than we might imagine." Dr Bates.

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.
