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.

PARENTAL WORKSHOP
“Talking ASD & ADHD” Workshop
Thursday 5th June 2025, 7pm to 9.30pm

Do you have a child with diagnosed or suspected ASD and/or ADHD?
Are you facing challenging behaviour on a daily basis?
Does your child struggle with the expectations of day to day... life?

Whether you have a child with a diagnosis of ASD or ADHD or suspect that your child
may have an additional need, you may be facing behaviours that are hard to manage and
a child who seems to struggle daily with their emotions and navigating their way through
daily life whilst other children seem to find this so much easier.

Supporting Links supports parents who want to understand how to support their children
when they are struggling with an additional need, particularly when parents see behaviour
that is hard to manage or out of proportion reactions to seemingly everyday situations.
Parents may be struggling with their child’s sleeping, eating and social interactions.
The session is for parents and carers of all children at Simon Balle All-through
School and will give you a better understanding of what is going on for your child, why
they behave the way that they do and how you can support them with their challenges.

Through the use of group discussion, individual/group activities and written materials you
will learn about:

 What are ASD & ADHD
 Why challenging behaviour happens
 how to calm during an emotional outburst
 Understanding our responses
 How to support and prepare our children for some of the challenges they may face
in day-to-day life

Parents will leave with the skills to apply this understanding within their families.
Previous attendees have said:
"This is a whole new world for me. My son was recently diagnosed with ADHD and as much as I read around the subject, this workshop has helped me enormously to understand why my son struggles and how I can help him"

"We are just beginning the process of having our daughter assessed but I needed help NOW! I am so glad I came to the session"

The School is funding this event for the benefit of parents and there are a limited number of places which will be offered on a first come first served basis.
