Simon Balle vs Chauncy?

We're thinking of moving out of London and buying in Hertfordshire. Was wondering if anyone is able to give some insight into these two schools. DC is in Y5, showing a capable, academic streak but can be very shy, hates being the centre of attention and is not very competetive.

Open to other suggestions for great non-religious, non-grammar, mixed state secondaries. As well as info on life in Hertford vs Ware. Thank you.

SB is very well run. You need to live fairly nearby to get in now it is an all-through school. It was my 2nd choice (Presdales 1st) and Charncy my 3rd.

Hertford is lovely to live in.

Ware is cheaper to live in but Hertford's got a nicer vibe I feel.
