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.

ANOTHER PROUD EVENING
"It was a privilege and joy to watch our wonderful Year 6 cohort perform Macbeth this week. Their performance consistently demonstrated such a depth of engagement in Shakespeare's language, narrative and characterisation. I was struck in equal measure by ...students' maturity and performance, as with their collaboration and enjoyment, in these state of the art facilities here at the BEAM in Hertford. With thanks to every student for their hard work; thanks to every parent for their support with costumes; and thanks to all staff for their inspiration - from English to drama, and music to choreography.
Another proud evening for us at Simon Balle!"

STUDY GEOGRAPHY AT A-LEVEL
At Simon Balle Sixth Form, we’re proud that 85% of our A Level Geography students achieved A–C grades last year*, showing the strength of our teaching and the dedication of our students.
Geography is an exciting, relevant subject that helps students ...understand the world — from climate change and global issues to cities, people and places. It develops real-world skills in analysis, communication and problem-solving that universities and employers consistently value.
Choosing Geography keeps your future open. It leads naturally into university courses such as environmental science, sustainability, earth sciences, planning, international development and social sciences, and also supports routes into business, law, economics and public policy. It pairs brilliantly with subjects like Biology, Maths, Economics, Sociology and Politics, making it a flexible and future-focused option.

A LARCH CELEBRATION OF MUSIC
We are incredibly proud of our Larch musicians following their recent concert, which celebrated all they have achieved in music. The standard of performance from such young musicians was exceptional, showcasing real musicality, maturity and excellence.
Team... Music remains committed to nurturing our young performers so they can continue to flourish throughout their time in our all-through school. Our Sixth Form Ambassadors provided superb support throughout the evening.
Well done to everyone who performed — it was a wonderful event filled with joy, music and celebration.
