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.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
This morning, Dr Bates and our Year 10 Science students celebrated the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough.
Students baked a fantastic selection of cakes, with some beautifully decorated to represent different ecosystems, and created a David Attenborough themed ...word cloud in the shape of an elephant using words chosen by the class to reflect his life and work.
During the lesson, students also took part in a narration challenge, attempting their best 'Attenborough impressions' over a short documentary clip, before finishing with a BBC video highlighting some of the most iconic moments from his remarkable career and, of course, enjoying cake.
A lovely way to celebrate Sir David Attenborough’s extraordinary contribution to nature, conservation and our shared responsibility to protect the planet.

PGL MOMENTS
We are delighted to share just another small glimpse into the brilliant time our Year 7 students are having at PGL.
While this is absolutely not a photo dump, it does appear that our photographer on location, Deputy Headteacher, Mrs Owen, is having a marvellous time behind ...the camera capturing these moments of joy. We are sure parents and carers at home, who are dearly missing their children, will appreciate the steady stream of updates appearing throughout the trip.
Year 7 continue to represent the school brilliantly, showing resilience, enthusiasm, and a real sense of togetherness in all they do.
