YEAR 13 SPORTS AFTERNOON
It was fantastic to see so many staff members joining Year 13 students for such a memorable Sports Afternoon as part of the Sixth Form Leavers celebrations.

The afternoon was full of laughter, encouragement and celebration, with staff and students enjoying the ...opportunity to spend time together away from the classroom and reflect on an outstanding two years. This Year 13 cohort has consistently brought positivity, character and energy to the school community, making occasions like this even more special.

Of course, Mr Pooley could not resist getting involved and joined in suited and booted for the occasion. And even Mr Ford got in front of the camera.

THE BANANA SPATULA RACE
The now famous Simon Balle Banana Spatula race quickly became one of the standout moments of the Year 13 Sports Afternoon.

Students fully embraced the challenge, bringing laughter, and a brilliant competitive spirit to the event. The race created a fantastic ...atmosphere and perfectly captured the fun, togetherness and personality of this Year 13 cohort. Students also enjoyed the additional primary school events, perhaps for the very last time.

A memorable moment from a brilliant afternoon celebrating our Sixth Form students and the friendships they have built throughout their journey.

REWIND
Rewinding back to last May and our Community Open Evening at the Elm Sports Centre.

Twelve months on, we are incredibly proud of what this space has become and the impact it continues to have across Simon Balle All-through School and the wider community. The Elm Sports Centre ...has played a huge role in supporting our PE and Sport department, giving students more opportunities than ever before to take part, compete and develop a love for being active.

Over the past year we have introduced new sports and experiences including kin ball, futsal, inclusive sports opportunities, community basketball partnerships and expanded extracurricular activities for students across all year groups. The facility has allowed us to grow participation, host exciting events and create an environment where students can thrive both physically and socially.

It has been fantastic to see the centre used and enjoyed every single day by students, staff, clubs and the local community.
