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.

OPEN DAY | BELONGING
As we continue our countdown to Saturday, we are exploring the five key drivers at the heart of life at Simon Balle: Purpose, Belonging, Success, Empowerment and Adventure.
Today, it’s Belonging.
We believe every young person should feel known, valued ...and part of something bigger.
From Early Years to Sixth Form, our students belong to classes, forms, houses, teams, clubs and communities. They support one another, celebrate together and discover that what we can achieve together is greater than what we can achieve alone.
Our values are at the heart of this. They are not simply displayed. They are taught, lived and celebrated every day.
Ofsted recognised this, describing our students as thriving within an “impressive positive ethos”, taking pride in demonstrating values including compassion, kindness, respect and patience.
A strong sense of belonging helps young people feel safe, supported and ready to flourish.
Discover the Simon Balle community at our Open Day this Saturday, 26 September, 08:30-12:30.

BRAIN DISSECTION
Yesterday, our Year 13 Psychology students took their learning beyond the classroom with a hands-on brain dissection as part of their Biopsychology unit.
The practical session gave students the opportunity to see the structures they have been studying in lessons up ...close, helping to bring their learning to life. Students explored the anatomy of the brain, located different regions and considered how its various parts are linked to behaviour and psychological processes.
The experience provided a valuable opportunity to connect theory with real-world observation, while developing students’ practical skills and deepening their understanding of the brain.
It was fantastic to see students engaging so enthusiastically with the activity and putting their knowledge into practice. Experiences like this help make Psychology memorable, meaningful and, quite literally, hands-on!
