Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family will make. At Wycombe High School, we are committed to ensuring that every student is challenged, supported and inspired to fulfil her potential.
For over a century, we have been providing an exceptional education for girls. Today, we combine the very best of that proud tradition with an ambitious vision for the future, underpinned by strong values and a belief in the transformative power of education.
We are ambitious for every student. We want our students to develop a lifelong love of learning, achieve their personal best and leave us ready to embrace the opportunities and challenges of the future with confidence and purpose.
We are proud to be a community where every student is known, valued, challenged, and encouraged to aspire without limits. Strong relationships between students, staff and families create an environment where young people feel safe, supported and empowered to achieve their very best. We place great importance on wellbeing, personal development and helping students discover their individual talents and passions.
As a girls’ grammar school, we are passionate about the opportunities that single-sex education provides. Our students benefit from an intellectually challenging curriculum, expert teaching and a culture in which aspiration, curiosity and achievement are celebrated. We are never complacent and continually review and develop our curriculum, facilities and wider opportunities to ensure that our students are equipped for an ever-changing world.
Beyond the classroom, students enjoy a remarkable range of opportunities. Whether through sport, the performing and visual arts, leadership programmes, enrichment activities, educational visits or community engagement, we encourage every student to broaden her horizons, pursue her interests and develop new skills and experiences.
We are proud that Ofsted continues to recognise the strengths of our school. Inspectors recently noted:
Their report also recognised our high academic standards, exemplary behaviour, outstanding pastoral care and the calm, purposeful environment that enables students to flourish.
Our students consistently achieve exceptional outcomes and progress to a wide range of prestigious universities, degree apprenticeships and careers. They leave Wycombe High School equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to flourish in an increasingly complex and connected world.
Ultimately, we want every young person who leaves Wycombe High School to be intellectually curious, culturally, and globally aware, a good friend, a good neighbour and an active citizen who contributes positively to society.
I hope our website gives you a sense of what makes Wycombe High School such a special place. We would be delighted to welcome you to the school so that you can experience first-hand the warmth, ambition and strong sense of community that our students enjoy every day.
I look forward to meeting you.
