Welcome

A very warm welcome to all of our families joining us with a child in our Reception cohort for 2020-2021. This is our sixth Reception cohort and we are so excited to see our first cohort now reaching Year 5.

Indeed, we hope that this is, for you, the beginning of a fourteen year journey with us at Simon Balle All-through school. We hope this part of our website will be helpful for you and for your child in preparing to join us, whether you have an older brother or sister at Simon Balle or whether you are joining us for the very first time.

As well as our Reception information booklet, we will be adding a series of videos through the month of July!
