We are excited to welcome everyone back for another fantastic year at Great Ballard! Whether you are returning or joining us for the very first time, we hope you are feeling ready for the opportunities and adventures that lie ahead…

At Great Ballard, everyone is encouraged to be confident, kind, and ambitious. We are supported to be the best versions of ourselves, try new things, use our voices, and look out for each other while always having fun and aiming high. Over the past year, we have seen so many amazing achievements in academics, sports, the arts, and beyond - and we are sure that this year will be no different.

What makes our school truly special is the sense of community and family that surrounds us. With the support of our dedicated teachers and the encouragement of our peers, we know that together we can reach our goals and make memories that will stay with us long after this year.

As Heads of School, we are proud to stand alongside you all and can’t wait to see the wonderful things you will accomplish. Let’s make this year one full of working hard, playing hard and being kind!

We look forward to seeing you soon,

Harriet Burns and Harris Mok.
