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.

PUMPKIN OBSERVATIONS!
This week art enrichment created some observational drawings using pens and charcoal ready for our Autumnal display. Concentrating on form, perspective and working hard on tonal values they created some amazing outcomes. Next week we will be creating these beautiful shapes... out of clay!

Well done enrichment!

WHAT A DAY!
From break-neck speeds on the cresta run (even faster once the rain arrived!) to woodland team challenges, den building, fire lighting and marshmallow toasting, we’ve packed in adventure from start to finish.

Lunch yesterday was fresh, homemade baguettes, followed by a ...Mexican feast for dinner and the ultimate treat – chocolate brownie with ice cream for dessert! As the sun set, we gathered for a campfire, talent show and sing-song, ending with mugs of hot chocolate by the fire!

Spirits are high, friendships are growing stronger and everyone is excited for tomorrow’s final adventures before sadly heading home to reality. A day full of learning, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime! Let’s go, Year 5!
