Simon Balle Primary school

Due to the overcrowding of other primary schools Simon Balle built a primary school, which was finished in the summer of 2015.[3] It is now known as Simon Balle All-through School as it offers education from the age of 4 with a reception class up until students leave year 11 at age 16 or stay on until age 18 in sixth form.
