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.

MINI POLICE GRADUATES
Over the past few weeks, our Year 5 pupils had the exciting opportunity to take part in a series of Mini Police sessions led by Hertfordshire Police.
The children explored a range of important topics including bullying, anti-social behaviour, road safety, personal... safety, online safety and even learned how to use the phonetic alphabet, developing valuable knowledge and skills along the way.
The programme concluded with a fantastic Mini Police Fun Day, which coincided perfectly with Neighbourhood Policing Week. Following their graduation from the six-week course, pupils enjoyed a range of interactive activities, including testing their speed on a police speed detection board, trying on police uniforms, having their fingerprints taken and exploring police vehicles, with plenty of opportunities to hear the sirens in action.
The children also enjoyed meeting their local neighbourhood officers, learning about the equipment they use every day and seeing a police drone in action. It was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen relationships with local officers while celebrating everything they had achieved throughout the programme.
A huge thank you to Hertfordshire Police for delivering such an engaging and memorable experience. We are incredibly proud of our Mini Police graduates and all they accomplished during the programme.

OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE
What an incredible few days our students enjoyed in Berlin, bringing to a close another unforgettable trip packed with learning, reflection and new experiences.
Before heading to the airport on their final morning, students visited the DDR Museum, where they ...explored what everyday life was like in East Germany. They then had the unique opportunity to hear first hand from someone who had lived in East Germany, gaining a personal insight into life behind the Iron Curtain that brought so much of what they had learned throughout the trip to life.
The trip was an outstanding experience, giving students the chance to deepen their understanding of history while representing the school brilliantly every step of the way. Their enthusiasm, curiosity and respectful attitude were a real credit to themselves and the school.
A huge thank you goes to the staff who gave up their time to make this fantastic trip possible. Their hard work, organisation and dedication ensured our students enjoyed an unforgettable experience and created memories that will last a lifetime.
