Reviews from students:
My confidence really developed at Bales. I ended up getting A*AAB. The support I got from all the staff and teachers was fantastic, and I achieved my dream of studying Medicine at UCL!

Bales has been everything I could have hoped for in year 7. The dynamic approach to education at all ages/levels has aided both my academic and personal development and I will be sad to leave.

- Student from Year 7 to Year 13
I studied GCSEs and A Levels at Bales, and then went to do History at Kings College London. I loved my time at Bales and would highly recommend Bales to anyone who is serious about their education.
