About

| About Ballard Simply the best school everyday. We pride ourselves on our forward-thinking curriculum, providing an aspirational, academic and holistic education. Our staff inspire and guide our young people, challenging and supporting them in equal measure.

The school's drive to deliver a first-class education, with a close eye on the future, is shaping our ambitious investment and development plans.

Academic achievement is a cornerstone of excellence at Ballard, and we are celebrating yet another exceptional year of GCSE success, with half of all results achieving top grades (9 7), more than double the national average, and triple the national average for grade 9s achieved. Our pastoral care is rooted in kindness and respect, and underpinned by Christian values.

The Ballard family's wellbeing is central to the ethos of the School. Our inclusive approach to school life values individuality and fosters generosity of spirit; our young people look out for each other and the wider community. Ballard educates the whole child, providing a wide range of sporting, cultural, artistic and academic clubs and activities.
