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.

SIXTH FORM EXPERIENCE DAY
We loved welcoming students to our Sixth Form Experience Day last week. It was a great chance for everyone to explore new subjects like Politics, Criminology, Early Childhood Studies and Media. Trying out these subjects is such an important part of the post-16 journey,... helping students understand what each course involves as well as discover where their passions truly lie.
The students were fantastic on the day, showing real interest, focus and enthusiasm. It was reassuring to see them making the most of every session.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone again in early February for pathway meetings following the mock exams, when students will have the opportunity to confirm their chosen subjects and continue shaping their future with clarity and excitement.

STRINGS, GUITARS AND SINGING
Congratulations to all our secondary musicians for an outstanding concert featuring guitars, strings and vocal performances. The number of students involved and the high standard they achieved were truly impressive. We are incredibly proud of everyone in Team Music.... It was wonderful to see so many families come together to celebrate the musical life of our school community. What a memorable evening.

INTERESTS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Simon Balle Sport recently welcomed coaches from DH Dance Academy to the Elm Sports Centre, where students from across the school enjoyed dynamic dance workshops.
It was wonderful to see so much energy, creativity, and confidence as every student took ...part and embraced the sessions. The workshops provided a fun opportunity to explore dance, try something new, and enjoy movement in a supportive environment.
A huge thank you to @dhdacademy for inspiring our students and encouraging them to discover new interests beyond the classroom.

STUDY PSYCHOLOGY AT A-LEVEL
We are incredibly proud of our A Level Psychology results in 2025. An impressive 76% of students achieved A*–B, with 18% securing an A*. Even more rewarding was the number of students who exceeded their targets, showing just how much they thrived on the course.
...
A Level Psychology is a subject where success is achievable for everyone, whether students have studied it at GCSE or are discovering it for the first time. Lessons offer a wide variety of engaging learning activities, and students often find themselves reflecting on their own lives and using psychological concepts to better understand their experiences.
Recently, many of our students have gone on to study Psychology at university, with destinations including University of Leeds, Sheffield, Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and Hertfordshire.
If you are curious about human behaviour, enjoy discussion, and want to develop skills that support a wide range of future pathways, Psychology at Simon Balle Sixth Form is a fantastic choice.
