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.

SIXTH FORM CELEBRATION
It was fantastic to see our Sixth Form community come together for such an enjoyable afternoon as Year 12 and Year 13 faced off in the Leavers Day football match.
The occasion was filled with laughter, encouragement and brilliant team spirit, creating another ...memorable moment for our students as part of the Year 13 celebrations.
Congratulations to Year 12 on their victory and well done to all students involved for the skill, effort and sportsmanship shown throughout the match.

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.
