The Larch Celebration of Music will take place on Wednesday 20th November in the Secondary Hall at school at 6pm. The concert will feature:

  • The Larch String Orchestra (Year 4, 5 & 6)

  • The Larch Wind & Brass Band (Year 4, 5 & 6)

  • Year 2 & 3 Choir

  • Year 4, 5 & 6 Choir

Due to the construction of the new sports hall, we ask that you are considerate of the staff car park and our residential neighbours.

The safest and most convenient place for everyone is the Old London road car park next to the fire station: this car park has easier access for motorists and is only an 11 minute walk from school. 

If you need lift access, please contact music@simonballe.herts.sch.uk
