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.

BRITISH SCIENCE WEEK
As part of British Science week, students got to explore their curiosity for the subject by carrying out rat dissections with Mrs Sparks on Wednesday and observing a series of exciting demonstrations by Mrs Priestnall on Thursday.
We figured you might prefer to ...look at bright colours and explosions from Mrs Priestnall session on Thursday than the rat dissections. The pictures you see are examples of a thermite displacement reaction to produce pure iron from iron oxide using aluminium, the combustion of hydrogen filled balloons with different metal ion solutions to give the bright colours and a very impressive elephant's toothpaste which got stuck on the ceiling.
Students really enjoyed the experience and a big thank you to the science teachers who led the sessions this week.

THE HEART OF CHEMISTRY
During British Science Week, our Year 13 chemists completed their final practical — a redox titration to determine the iron content in iron tablets using the striking purple potassium manganate(VII).
"It was a great way to bring two years of hands-on ...practical chemistry to a close. From their first experiments in Year 12 to this final analysis, they have developed the precision, confidence and problem-solving skills that are so important in the laboratory.
Practical work is at the heart of chemistry, and this group has approached it with enthusiasm and care throughout their course. Seeing them apply their knowledge and techniques so effectively in the lab has been a real highlight.
They have been a brilliant group to teach and a real credit to the department. Good luck in your exams, Year 13." Mrs Priestnall

CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY in style at the world-class Tottenham Hotspur Training Ground!
Yesterday, our girls had an absolutely unforgettable experience today. They took part in a fantastic carousel of activities led by the brilliant Spurs U19 Women's team and academy... coaches, and then put everything they learned into practice with a tournament!
We are so incredibly proud of the girls. They stepped right out of their comfort zones, showed amazing resilience, and most importantly, had fun doing it. The girls got to hear from female employees at Tottenham and the different roles that they have. Two ex-spurs players also spoke about their journey in the game and what they had learnt from it - truly inspiring. The girls asked some great questions. We could also hear the first team on the other side of the fence preparing for their Champions league game. COYS
Thank you, @SpursWomen, for the amazing facility and an experience these girls won't forget anytime soon!
