Curriculum
The school timetable runs on a two week timetable system, allocating a set number of lessons (each lasting one hour) to subjects across the fortnight.
Special Educational Needs
The Special Educational Needs (SEN) Department is committed to offering an inclusive curriculum to ensure the best possible progress for all of our students to enable them to have every opportunity to reach their full potential academically, socially and emotionally. This is achieved by working in partnership with parents, students, teaching staff and external agencies.
Sixth Form
Most of the students stay on from Year 11 into the Sixth Form and are joined by some external candidates. The results obtained by the end of Year 13 are exceptional. Value added figures (progress from GCSE) are also some of the highest amongst Buckinghamshire grammar schools. Students are also expected to take an active role in the life of the School and are usually seen as role models for the younger students.
