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.

MEMORABLE & REFLECTIVE
Our year 9 students recently returned from a memorable and reflective educational trip to Belgium, exploring the historic First World War battlefields around Ypres.
Through visiting museum exhibitions, exploring replica trench systems and being taken around ...Read moresites such as Hill 60, students gained an appreciation for life for soldiers on the Western Front and the immense human cost of war, enhancing their understanding from history and English lessons. Visiting the memorial to the Hertfordshire regiment, near the site of their most infamous day on 31st July 1917 at the battle of Passchendaele, helped students connect to local history and imagine the experiences of men from the Hertfordshire area in one of the most horrific episodes of the First World War.
As always, students laid a wreath on behalf of the Simon Balle community during the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate, in remembrance of all victims of war.
It was an unforgettable experience, and our students represented the school with tremendous maturity, respect, and curiosity throughout the trip. A huge thank you to all the staff that made this trip possible by giving their time and expertise.
