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.

AHEAD TOGETHER
with GSK Early Careers opportunities
We are celebrating Day Two of National Apprenticeship Week at Simon Balle All-through School.
Today, our Sixth Form students were joined by Max Murray from GSK who spoke passionately about his professional journey from GCSEs ...to a Supply Chain and Logistics Degree Apprenticeship. Max shared valuable insights into the wide range of opportunities available to students following Sixth Form study, offering a clear and inspiring view of alternative pathways beyond university.
He also highlighted both the benefits and challenges of combining work and study, shared his key tips for developing a strong and successful CV, and reinforced why a growth mindset is just as important as positive grades.
Thank you to Max for giving his time, sharing his experiences so openly, and for supporting and inspiring our students.

EXTREMELY PROUD
This week, alumni student Sam Palmer has been featured in the national news, proudly showing his support for apprenticeships and the opportunities they offer.
Last year, we were delighted to welcome Sam back to Simon Balle for our Year 12 Apprenticeship Launch Evening, ...where he spoke with students and parents about the benefits of his Project Management Apprenticeship with Thames WaterWater and the alternative routes available following Sixth Form study, beyond the traditional university pathway.
It is amazing to see an ex-student flourishing in their role and speaking with such passion and confidence about their career prospects. We are extremely proud of all that Sam continues to achieve and hope to see him back at school again soon, inspiring another cohort of students with his journey.

I BELONG HERE
Uniform supports our shared focus on learning.
At Simon Balle, we see school uniform as more than what students wear. It helps signal the role they are stepping into each day: that of a learner. Research into mindset shows that what we wear can influence how we think and ...behave, because it cues purpose, belonging and readiness.
Uniform isn’t about the fabric itself. It’s about the message it sends: I belong here, I’m focused, and I’m ready to learn. By creating a consistent learning environment, uniform helps students switch into learning mode and approach the day with intention.
Uniform doesn’t make students more capable on its own. It supports the mindset and habits that allow learning to happen, reinforcing our shared commitment to high expectations and positive learning behaviours across our school community.
