Aylesbury High School

Overview

Aylesbury High School was founded in 1959, in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, when the previously co-educational Aylesbury Grammar School split to become two single-sex grammar schools. The two institutions remain on adjacent sites. The school takes its pupils from a wide area, as far from Aylesbury as Oxford and Milton Keynes. The school was awarded Specialist School status in Languages, which it kept until Summer 2011, when it gained Academy Status. Languages remain a particular strength at the school and are extensively resourced and promoted.
