Dear parents
This is our final newsletter of the summer term 2019, although early next week you will receive a ‘end of term round-up’ of various activities.
We finish school on Tuesday 23rd July having chosen to use our staff training days regularly throughout the year. The arrangements are: Dismissal times: Primary - 12pm Y7 - 12:50pm Y8 - 12:50pm Y9 - 12:45pm Y10 - 12:45pm Y12 - 12:05pm School starts again for all children on Wednesday 4th September, normal starting time ( primary 8.45am secondary 8.40am). We expect to see everyone on that day as the summer holiday ends on 3rd September having enjoyed a six week break.
I am attaching a reminder about uniform. Particularly in the summer term we see parents and students choosing to deviate from our uniform policy. Please read this carefully and not only by buying the right items but ensuring that hair styles and body ornaments (nail varnish, gel nails, braiding, body art, false eye lashes, makeup etc) are not worn in school. Thank you. We will officially welcome new staff in next year’s first newsletter but parents need to note the following:
Rachel Kirk will be the new Vice principal (primary) : [email protected]
David Ayres will be the Senior Lead for Sixth Form (before Ben Morris takes up his post in January) [email protected]
Helen Rhodes will be the Head of Year 7 (in the light of Miss Robinson’s maternity leave) [email protected]
Tom Joyce will be Head of Year 8 (in the light of Miss Ahmet’s maternity leave) [email protected]
So, after another very busy past few weeks with the annual Academic Awards evening, two concerts, an art exhibition, three sports days and a school fete we need time to relax and re-energise. What is so wonderful and truly remarkable is to stand back and amaze at how this is so special as a all-through school.
Slice of Summer
Whilst so much work was put in by the Larch parents, contributions and attendance from secondary families we managed to raise almost £6,000 which is wonderful!
Academic Awards
Over 200 awards were presented and special praise was given to those students in Years 7 to 13 who received Heads of Year awards.
Concerts
Whilst the @Big Band’ evening was entirely secondary students the amazing ‘Saffron Sounds’ included Year 3 choirs, string and wind players.
Sports days
We ran two sports afternoons in the Larch centre with our sports leaders running and organising the events. The secondary sports day was enjoyed by all and it was lovely to see all out students taking part.
To conclude this academic year of 2018 – 2019, a big thank you to parents for their incredible support, to staff for the amazing work they do and to our students (from the youngest to the oldest) for making Simon Balle All-through School such a special community, learning focused and full of energy.
Wishing you a very happy and safe holiday break.

As we approach the end of term I would like to remind everyone of our simple uni-form rules, to ensure that when we return in September every student is adhering to them. Clothing Kilts- Should be just above the knee but not higher. Kilts must not be rolled up Jumpers and cardigans must not be tucked into kilts KS3 jumpers/cardigans are green and KS4 jumpers/cardigans are burgundy Shirts- all shirts must be tucked in Trousers for both boys and girls should be full length and of a formal black material Coats- must not be casual- no hoodies, denim, expensive coats (as they frequently get misplaced), with no large logos. Socks- Boys should wear black or dark coloured socks Girls- knee length socks (not over the knee) black or white socks, black tights or white ankle socks and no combined combination. No leggings allowed with socks over them Shoes Should be black, not canvas, and flat, fitting correctly Hairstyles Should be natural coloured and not bleached or dyed in an unnatural colour.

Jewellery A watch and single stud gold or silver earrings should be worn, with no hoops permitted. Nose rings/studs are not permitted. Makeup and nails Students should not have “gel nails” nor wear nail varnish, except for clear polish. Nails should be trimmed and short (health and safety, particularly for practical sub-jects) Face makeup should be discrete and not be obvious.
