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 6 WRITING OUTCOMES
After a rigorous moderation process, we are delighted to share that 86% of our Year 6 students have achieved the expected standard in writing. This compares to 72% as a national average in 2025. At a greater depth level, the national average was 13% in 2025 - Simon Balle... students have tripled this, with 36% writing at this incredibly high standard!
Students are showing readiness for the secondary phase indeed!
