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.

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
As part of our celebrations marking one year of the Elm Sports Centre being open, we are proud to reflect on the amazing community partnerships built over the past 12 months.
One club that has truly made the Elm its home is the Special Olympics East Herts ...Basketball Club. Tracey shared these wonderful words about what the centre has meant to their athletes and community:
“As we mark the one-year anniversary of The Elm Sports Centre at Simon Balle All-through School, we just want to say how fantastic it’s been to call it our home.
As a Special Olympics basketball club, having a consistent, high-quality venue for weekly training all year round is so important, and The Elm has been exactly that. The facilities are excellent, and the support from staff has been outstanding from day one.
Most importantly, it’s given our athletes a safe, welcoming space to grow in confidence, develop their skills, and be part of a strong, supportive community.
We feel incredibly lucky to be based here and look forward to many more years ahead!”
Thank you to Tracey and everyone involved with the club for being such an important part of the Elm community.

BTEC SPORT ASSESSMENT SUCCESS
Last week, our year 12 BTEC Sports students were excellent leaders as they delivered sessions for years 6-10 for their recent assessment. They showed excellent confidence, organisation, and leadership throughout, creating engaging and inclusive activities for all ...participants. Their communication skills, enthusiasm, and ability to adapt in the moment were particularly impressive, ensuring every session ran smoothly and positively.
A huge well done to all involved – you represented the school brilliantly and should be proud of the professionalism and teamwork you demonstrated!

GOOD LUCK, YEAR 6
Year 6 had a lovely start to their SATs week with their first breakfast together, creating a calm and positive atmosphere before their papers. Sharing food with friends helped everyone relax, chat, and feel supported, turning any nerves into excitement.
It was a ...wonderful way to begin the day, giving pupils a chance to settle their minds and feel confident as they prepared to do their best. We are so proud of all their hard work and wish them the very best this week.
