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.

CAREERS IN GOVERNMENT
A huge thank you to Declan McClean for delivering today's engaging and informative Careers in Government presentation to our Sixth Form students as part of National Careers Week.
The session offered a clear insight into how the UK Civil Service works, the ...role it plays in supporting elected government, and the wide range of career routes available, from apprenticeships and internships to graduate fast stream opportunities. Declan’s explanation of real-world skills such as communication, analysis, teamwork and project management helped our A Level students understand how their studies connect directly to future careers, empowering them to make more informed decisions about their next steps.
It was also a pleasure to welcome back another Simon Balle School alumnus. We place huge value on former students returning to share their pathways and personal journeys, as hearing first-hand experiences helps inspire and motivate our current students while showing the many routes success can take beyond school.

DANCE SHOWCASE
On Monday night these incredible Year 6 girls lit up the stage with their performance to Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” at the ‘Night at the Movies’ primary dance showcase 2026 organised by the Hertford and Ware School Sports Partnership,
From the very first ...beat, their passion was undeniable. Every move was sharp, powerful and full of confidence — a true reflection of the dedication they’ve shown in rehearsals.
They didn’t just dance… they performed.
They owned the stage.
They supported each other.
And they delivered with excellence.
So proud of their energy, teamwork and fearless attitude — they absolutely beat it in every sense!

TESCO STORE OF THE FUTURE CHALLENGE
A huge well done to the first half of our Year 9 students who took on the Tesco Property ‘Store of the Future’ Challenge last week!
Students stepped into the shoes of developers, engineers, and planners to design the ultimate shopping ...experience. From sustainability and green energy to smart store layouts and drones, the innovation on display was great to see. They didn’t just design stores; they built key skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and professional pitching.
The future of retail could be in safe hands!
A massive thank you to the team from Tesco who came in to run the event.
The second half of the year group are currently enjoying their experience today.
