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.

YEAR 1 PHONICS SCREENING CHECK
93% of our students achieved the expected standard in the national phonics screening check. The national average in 2025 was 80%. Our phonics outcomes are exceptional, sustained at or above 90% every year over time. Every student has made excellent progress!
...
Where students can apply their phonics knowledge with confidence and ease, they are brilliantly placed to continue their reading journeys, reading with fluency and, most importantly, reading for pleasure and joy!

LARCH CELEBRATION
This week, we will be shining a spotlight on academic excellence across Reception to Year 6. Our pupils continue to achieve exceptionally high standards, with outcomes that are consistently and significantly above national averages.
These achievements are only ...possible through the dedication of our outstanding staff, the valued partnership we share with our families and, above all, the hard work, determination and enthusiasm of our pupils.
We begin by celebrating our Year 4 multiplication check 2026.
Our Year 4 pupils have achieved an outstanding average score of 24.6 out of 25 in the Multiplication Tables Check. An incredible achievement.
To put this into context, the national average last year was 21.0 out of 25, while an impressive 83% of our pupils achieved full marks, compared with 37% nationally. Every pupil made excellent progress and should be immensely proud of what they have achieved.
Confident recall of multiplication tables is a fundamental building block in mathematics. When pupils can recall number facts quickly and accurately, they are able to devote more of their thinking to problem solving, reasoning and tackling increasingly complex mathematical concepts throughout Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3 and beyond.
Congratulations to all of our Year 4 pupils and to the staff and families who have supported them along the way.
