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.

REAL-WORLD SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
Today our year 13 Chemistry students had the fantastic opportunity to visit the University of Hertfordshire where they explored a range of advanced analytical techniques used in real-world scientific research.
From gas chromatography–mass spectrometry ...(GC-MS) to infrared (IR) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), students gained valuable insight into how chemists identify and analyse substances. As part of the experience, they even brought along their own synthesised samples of Aspirin, made in our school labs, to be analysed using these sophisticated instruments.
The students represented the school exceptionally well and approached the experience with enthusiasm and curiosity. We would like to extend our thanks to the University of Hertfordshire for providing such an engaging and informative opportunity.

HOPE CUP SUCCESS
This week, our Year 5 and 6 football team delivered a fantastic performance to win the Hope Cup Final with a hard-fought 2–1 victory.
It was a closely contested match, but two excellent goals from Ben proved decisive, alongside some outstanding defending that helped... secure the win.
The team have shown great commitment and determination throughout the year, working incredibly hard to reach the final, so it was especially rewarding to see them achieve the success they truly deserved. A special mention must go to the Year 6 players, who played a key role in bringing the squad together, supporting the Year 5 players, helping them settle into the team, and building their confidence. Their leadership and teamwork were evident throughout the tournament against some really difficult opponents, especially the 1/4 final vs Bengeo!
Proud!
