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.

READING CHALLENGE
Our second Year 7 Summer Challenge is here.
The Summer Reading Challenge is a fantastic opportunity for our new Year 7 students to discover exciting books before they join us in September. Reading helps develop vocabulary, confidence, creativity and empathy, while ...encouraging students to explore new ideas and perspectives.
Many of the books have been carefully chosen to reflect the values of our school, helping students begin to understand the culture and community that make Simon Balle such a special place.
Our Summer Challenges are built around the Year 7 ABC: Academic, Belonging and Culture. They are designed to keep students curious over the summer, help them feel connected to our school community and introduce the values and expectations of Year 7.
We encourage every new Year 7 student to take part and make a positive start to their Simon Balle journey.

SIMON BALLE HIGHLIGHT #10
One of the sporting moments of the year came from our Year 10 boys football team in a memorable rain soaked cup quarter final. It was a performance that will live long in the memory.

VITRUVIAN PULSE PROJECT
Over the past two terms, Brody in Year 10 has been working alongside Dr Bates on the innovative Vitruvian Pulse project, combining science, engineering and creativity to bring the human circulatory system to life.
Using an Arduino microcontroller and a network ...of red and blue LED strips, Brody has designed an interactive model that demonstrates the movement of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood around the body in a visual and engaging way.
An outstanding example of STEM in action. Be sure to look out for Vitruvian Pulse at our Open Morning on Saturday 26th September.
