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.

TESCO STORE OF THE FUTURE CHALLENGE
A huge well done to the first half of our Year 9 students who took on the Tesco Property ‘Store of the Future’ Challenge last week!
Students stepped into the shoes of developers, engineers, and planners to design the ultimate shopping ...experience. From sustainability and green energy to smart store layouts and drones, the innovation on display was great to see. They didn’t just design stores; they built key skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and professional pitching.
The future of retail could be in safe hands!
A massive thank you to the team from Tesco who came in to run the event.
The second half of the year group are currently enjoying their experience today.

CHANCE TO COMPETE
Girls Cricket Tournament
A fantastic afternoon of cricket for our Year 8 and Year 10 girls!
Year 10 – A brilliant effort from the girls, applying the skills learned in their recent workshop. They won two out of three games, finishing second in their pool ...– a great result!
Year 8 – An outstanding performance, winning all three of their games! The team showed superb batting and high scoring throughout, securing their place in the finals at Queenswood School on 23rd March.
Girls Cricket takes place every Tuesday after school – we’d love to see some new faces joining the teams!

INFORMED
Edition 2 - Spring 2026
We’re proud to share the second edition of Informed, our student-led annual publication. Every article topic was chosen by the writers themselves, with all research and writing carried out independently — a real testament to their curiosity, ...commitment, and voice.
It’s brilliant to see the potential journalists and designers of the future developing their craft under the guidance of Mr Kerswill. From school-related issues to global affairs, this edition reflects what matters to our students and the conversations they want to lead.
We hope Informed continues to do exactly what its name promises: keep our community informed about the issues that matter to us.
