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.

TOMORROW’S CITIZENS
Our careers strategy is designed to support students at every stage of their journey through school, helping them to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to make informed decisions about their futures.
This year, we have been proud to work in ...partnership with a range of employers including Tesco, McMullen’s and Heyne Tillett Steel. Through workshops, talks and work experience opportunities, these partnerships have played a vital role in raising awareness of different industries and supporting students in understanding the pathways available to them.
We also place great value on our alumni network, regularly welcoming former students back to speak with current Sixth Formers. This year students have had interactions with key employers like GSK, Roche and Airbus. Hearing directly from those who have progressed onto university, apprenticeships and employment provides relatable and inspiring insights, helping students to better understand the steps needed to achieve their goals.
Support from employers is essential in bringing careers education to life. Work experience placements, in particular, give students the opportunity to develop key employability skills, build confidence and gain first-hand insight into the workplace. At the same time, employers benefit from engaging with motivated young people, supporting their local community and helping to shape the future workforce.
We are incredibly grateful to all of the organisations and individuals who continue to support our students in this way.
Together, we are creating tomorrow’s citizens today.

ANOTHER UNFORGETTABLE DAY
Day 4 on the slopes and another unforgettable day!
Four groups reached the very top of the mountain today at an incredible 3000m - an amazing achievement rewarded with breathtaking views and perfect skiing conditions. The progress continues across all groups, ...with students embracing new challenges and building their skills in creative ways. From skiing on just one ski to practising movement in ski boots only, it’s been great to see everyone stepping outside their comfort zone and developing their confidence.
Lunch today was a highlight in itself - pizza on the mountain with stunning panoramic views. The resilience, enthusiasm, and willingness to try new things has been brilliant to watch.
Another fantastic day, with memories that will last a lifetime!
