OFSTED PARENT SURVEY
Thank you for the fantastic response so far, with more than 300 responses already received.

If you have not yet completed the survey, please take a few moments to do so. We want to gather as much feedback as possible from across our school community.

The ...survey asks about your views of your child's school, including how happy your child is at school and how the school manages bullying and challenging behaviour. If you have more than one child at the school, please complete the survey with one child in mind.

Your feedback will help us continue to improve, so please answer as honestly as possible.

YEAR 7 TRANSITION DATES
We are delighted to be welcoming our new Year 7 students and their families to Simon Balle All-through School this September. We are excited to begin this journey together and look forward to getting to know the newest members of our school community.

Please ...make a note of the following important transition dates:

Tuesday 30 June, 6.00pm
Welcome to Year 7 Transition Evening
Parents and carers are invited to join us in the secondary school hall, where key members of staff will share information about life at Simon Balle, including the academic and pastoral support available to our students. Attendance is required for all parents and carers.

Thursday 9 July, 8.30am to 3.15pm
Hertfordshire Year 6 Transition Day
This is an exciting opportunity for students to spend a day at Simon Balle, meet staff and classmates, and begin to familiarise themselves with their new school. Students should wear their primary school uniform and bring a pencil case with the necessary equipment. Parents and carers should ensure that a Transition Day lunch has been purchased via the school shop on Parent Portal. Attendance is required for all students.

Wednesday 26 August to Friday 28 August, 9.00am to 2.00pm
Summer School
Our Summer School is a special part of the Simon Balle transition experience and plays an important role in helping students feel confident, connected and ready for September. Across the three days, students will build friendships, get to know staff, explore the school site and develop an understanding of our values and culture. We have seen first-hand the positive impact Summer School has on students each year and strongly encourage all students to attend.

Wednesday 2 September, 8.30am
First Day of Year 7
The day has finally arrived. We cannot wait to welcome our new Year 7 students through the doors of Simon Balle All-through School and begin this exciting new chapter with them.

Parents and carers can find all of the information and documentation needed over the coming months on our Year 6 to Year 7 Transition page:
