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.

WOW!
What a fantastic day we’ve had at Simon Balle All-through School.
This morning’s 12-minute workout set the tone for an outstanding day, with both staff and students fully getting involved to support Hertfordshire Mind Network as part of Children’s Mental Health Week.
...
Thanks to everyone’s generosity, we have already raised over £4,000 including gift aid. There’s still time to donate, and every contribution counts. A small individual effort really can add up to a powerful shared achievement.
Huge shout outs to Mr Pooley, Mr Townsend, Mrs Ahmet, the PE department, and the site team for all their hard work and teamwork throughout the day. Together, we make magic moments happen.
And yes, there were some truly horrendous staff dance moves on display this morning… but given the cause (and the enthusiasm), we think they can just about be forgiven.

WHAT A START!
This morning, the Simon Balle community came together for a whole-school morning workout to show our support for Hertfordshire Mind Network as part of Children’s Mental Health Day.
A huge thank you to everyone involved for making the morning so special. You really set ...the tone and encouraged students to arrive ready, positive, and show their best.
It was fantastic to see so many students wearing the charity’s colour, blue, in support.
We are also taking part in a Rowing Challenge running throughout the day, with a collective goal of rowing 12,000 metres every hour. A great way to show how small individual efforts can add up to a powerful shared achievement.

AHEAD TOGETHER
with GSK Early Careers opportunities
We are celebrating Day Two of National Apprenticeship Week at Simon Balle All-through School.
Today, our Sixth Form students were joined by Max Murray from GSK who spoke passionately about his professional journey from GCSEs ...to a Supply Chain and Logistics Degree Apprenticeship. Max shared valuable insights into the wide range of opportunities available to students following Sixth Form study, offering a clear and inspiring view of alternative pathways beyond university.
He also highlighted both the benefits and challenges of combining work and study, shared his key tips for developing a strong and successful CV, and reinforced why a growth mindset is just as important as positive grades.
Thank you to Max for giving his time, sharing his experiences so openly, and for supporting and inspiring our students.

EXTREMELY PROUD
This week, alumni student Sam Palmer has been featured in the national news, proudly showing his support for apprenticeships and the opportunities they offer.
Last year, we were delighted to welcome Sam back to Simon Balle for our Year 12 Apprenticeship Launch Evening, ...where he spoke with students and parents about the benefits of his Project Management Apprenticeship with Thames WaterWater and the alternative routes available following Sixth Form study, beyond the traditional university pathway.
It is amazing to see an ex-student flourishing in their role and speaking with such passion and confidence about their career prospects. We are extremely proud of all that Sam continues to achieve and hope to see him back at school again soon, inspiring another cohort of students with his journey.
