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.

THE GREAT GET TOGETHER
On Friday, our Year 12 Politics students were delighted to be invited by Josh Dean MP, Member of Parliament for Hertford and Stortford, to attend a coffee morning marking the 10th anniversary of The Great Get Together.

Inspired by Jo Cox’s belief that “we ...have far more in common than that which divides us”, the event celebrated the values and connections that bring communities together. It gave our students the opportunity to speak with their local representative about the issues that matter most to them and to engage thoughtfully in discussion about public life and community.

Taking time out of their final school Sports Day, our students represented Simon Balle brilliantly and were excellent ambassadors for the school in the local community.

Thank you to Josh Dean MP for the invitation and for hosting such a thoughtful community event.

WOW!
Another fantastic Sports Day at Simon Balle All-through School!

Today was filled with personal bests, two inflatable dinosaurs, one inflatable shark, plenty of friendly competition, lots of community spirit and even more smiles.

Thank you to all our students, staff and ...supporters for making the day such a success. It was wonderful to see our school community come together to celebrate sport, teamwork and house pride.

We wish everyone a lovely weekend.

A reminder that more photos from each year group's session will be shared on the Simon Balle Sport Instagram page @simonballesport over the coming days.
