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.

SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOL FUND
At Simon Balle, we are unashamedly ambitious for our students. While government funding covers our core teaching and learning, it does not allow us to go further: to improve our buildings, enhance our environment, and enrich opportunities for every child.
...The Simon Balle All-through School Fund plays a crucial part in making a lasting impact on our school and our students. No matter the size of the donation, every penny is put towards improving school life, and the outstanding myriad of wonderful opportunities that we wish to continue to offer for all our students.
Every donation, no matter the size, goes directly towards projects that make a real difference to our students’ daily experience here at Simon Balle. Our new School Fund webpage sets out the purpose and aims of the fund, what your kind donations were spent on last year and what we hope to be able to fund this year as make this annual appeal for your help and support.

THANK YOU
This week, Simon Balle Sport welcomed coaches from DH Dance Academy to the Elm Sports Centre. Students from Year 1 to Year 9 had the fantastic opportunity to take part in dance workshops led by the talented DH Dance coaches.
It was brilliant to see such energy, creativity, ...and flair throughout the sessions, with every student getting involved and showing real confidence on the dance floor. The enthusiasm across all year groups was exceptional.
A huge thank you to DH Dance Academy for delivering these inspiring workshops and for helping us strengthen our links with local community clubs. We hope this experience encourages our students to explore dance further, discover new interests beyond the classroom, and perhaps even take part in our upcoming Dance Festival and Talent Shows.

STUDY A LEVEL BUSINESS
We are extremely proud that last year 100% of our A level Business students achieved grades A*–C. This outstanding success reflects their hard work, the relevance of the course, and the high-quality support they receive throughout their studies.
A level ...Business opens doors to a wide range of future pathways. Many of our students progress to university degrees in areas such as Business Management, Marketing, Finance, Economics, Accounting, Entrepreneurship, and Law. Others choose apprenticeships, employment in business-related fields, or routes that allow them to build their own start-up ventures.
Throughout the course, students develop essential skills that are valued in every industry. These include critical thinking, problem solving, data analysis, financial awareness, communication, decision-making, and leadership. By exploring real business challenges, students gain confidence and insight into how organisations operate in the modern world.
If you are aiming for a qualification that builds transferable skills and creates genuine opportunities for your future, A level Business is an excellent choice. We look forward to welcoming the next group of ambitious students ready to take on the challenge.

BIOLOGY IN ACTION
On Monday our Year 13 Biologists attended a practical workshop at the Royal Institution L'Oreal Young Scientist Centre. Students were tasked with identifying which of the 4 patients either had Impetigo or Necrotising fasciitis, both caused by strains of the Streptococcus ...pyogenes bacteria.
Their first step was to pour liquid agarose gel which contained seaweed and a fluorescent chemical called SYBRsafe which set for later use.
Students were then introduced to the micropipette apparatus and after a couple of practice runs, their next step was to measure out DNA and restriction enzymes to place into vials for each of the samples. This was placed in mini-centrifuges for mixing purposes.
The Biologists also then had to micropipette the samples into the wells on the agarose gel very carefully. Great skill was shown by all students due to the care and precision that they took. Eventually the Biologists used gel electrophoresis to separate out the strands of DNA in each of the 6 samples according to length under the fluorescent light. Here students identified which of the 4 patients had either of the two diseases based on how the bands matched up the DNA of each strain of Streptococcus pyogenes.
