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.

PARLIAMENT ON THE PLAYGROUND
Before half-term on Wednesday and Friday lunchtime our Larch Presidents and School Presidents took to the playgrounds in an effort to gather student voice.
Our School Parliament is the key driver for Student Leadership at Simon Balle. Giving our students ...the opportunity to shape the school is of the utmost importance for our community and the students didn't disappoint. We managed to collect great feedback that will now be taken forward to the Year and Larch Councils before the next Whole School Parliament meeting takes place next half term. Well done to everyone who contributed their school improvement ideas.

YEAR 7 SHINE IN HFL MATHS HEAT 1
We Take 3rd and Qualify for the Final!
Our Year 7 teams (Mathmagicians and The Lucky Guessers) were mathematical marvels on Tuesday! They delivered an outstanding performance in Heat 1 of the HFL Maths Competition. Across four demanding rounds - testing... mathematical fluency, recall, estimation and problem-solving - they rose to every challenge, culminating in a final round set at GCSE standard and even an A-level question!
Throughout, the students worked with impressive maturity, resilience and a strong sense of collective responsibility. The energy and enthusiasm in the room was quite something! We are delighted to confirm that The Lucky Guessers placed third overall, securing a place in the final on 23 April, and there is every chance Mathmagicians will join them once the full results are declared. Their achievement reflects exceptional commitment and teamwork.
