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.

GOOD LUCK, YEAR 6
Year 6 had a lovely start to their SATs week with their first breakfast together, creating a calm and positive atmosphere before their papers. Sharing food with friends helped everyone relax, chat, and feel supported, turning any nerves into excitement.
It was a ...wonderful way to begin the day, giving pupils a chance to settle their minds and feel confident as they prepared to do their best. We are so proud of all their hard work and wish them the very best this week.

BTEC SPORT ASSESSMENT SUCCESS
Our year 12 BTEC Sports students were excellent leaders this week as they delivered sessions for years 6-10 for their recent assessment. They showed excellent confidence, organisation, and leadership throughout, creating engaging and inclusive activities for all ...participants. Their communication skills, enthusiasm, and ability to adapt in the moment were particularly impressive, ensuring every session ran smoothly and positively.
A huge well done to all involved – you represented the school brilliantly and should be proud of the professionalism and teamwork you demonstrated!
