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.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH | TRIP UPDATE
We’ve heard from Mr Tweed with an update from our Year 11 Duke of Edinburgh expedition.
After completing a challenging 14km hike yesterday, there were plenty of smiles back at camp as students enjoyed some games before gathering around the campfire for... s’mores.
Following a downpour this morning, the groups have now set off on their next hike, taking them around the beautiful Ashridge Estate.
The phone signal is very poor, so updates and photos are coming through when they can. We’ll share more from the expedition as we receive it.
