Welcome to
Simon Balle All-through School
It is a privilege to welcome you to Simon Balle All-through School. Our website is intended to be a window into the highest quality of education that we offer here, and to give you a sense of who we are and our shared vision and values.
We are proud of our all-through school: one school for students from the age of four all the way to eighteen. We are known for our high expectations, first class education and our innovative approach. Our curriculum is broad, and its progressive and sequential nature in every subject ensures that children are inspired and can successfully journey through fourteen years of learning with us. We believe that there is no tension between this academic ambition for all and a holistic education which supports every young person to develop their character and sense of self.

SIMON BALLE BARBARIANS
A fantastic achievement for Simon Balle students this weekend!
Ten players from the Year 7 and Year 8 rugby teams were selected to represent the school in the Barbarian 18-man squad that took on Haileybury College on Saturday.
Despite only having ...trained together twice, the team showed outstanding resilience, determination, and teamwork throughout a tough and closely contested match. Their hard work paid off with an impressive 50–45 victory, demonstrating the skills and values the players have been developing both in school and during the Barbarian training sessions.
A big thank you to Hertford Rugby Football Club for their support in helping make this opportunity possible.
