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.

CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH WEEK
Last week was a powerful reminder of how important it is to look after our mental health and to look out for one another. From shared activities to meaningful conversations, it was inspiring to see our community come together in support of this cause.
... But this isn’t something that starts and ends in five days. Supporting mental health is an ongoing commitment—every day, through small actions, kindness, and connection.
Thank you to everyone who played a part in making last week so positive and impactful.

A POWERFUL IMPACT ON ASPIRATIONS
Across National Apprenticeship Week, our Sixth Form students had the opportunity to engage with a range of employers, including Roche, Airbus and GSK, gaining valuable insight into different industries and career pathways.
The week concluded on Friday ...with a session from former student Carlo, who is currently completing the second year of his Civil Engineering Degree Apprenticeship at BCAL Consulting. Carlo delivered an engaging and informative talk, highlighting the wide range of entry routes into engineering, sharing examples of his recent project work, and offering an honest overview of what it takes to secure and complete a degree apprenticeship, including the commitment, challenges, and rewards involved.
We are incredibly proud of everything Carlo continues to achieve and it was a pleasure to welcome him back to Simon Balle All-through School. Visits from former students have a powerful impact on aspirations, helping current students see what is possible and how different pathways can lead to success. Hearing first-hand experiences makes future options feel more achievable and supports our students as they begin to reflect on their own next steps and consider their individual journeys beyond Simon Balle.
