Amersham School

Amersham School is a mixed secondary school in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. In September 2011, the school became an Academy. It takes children from the age of 11 through to the age of 18 and has approximately 1020 pupils.

In September 2005, the school was designated by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) as a specialist school in Business & Enterprise.

Amersham School is an upper school, and half the children who live locally pass the 11+ and go to grammar schools. In light of this data, Amersham School is performing well below national averages.

As is common with many other schools, Amersham School operates a two-year Key Stage 3. This allows three years for GCSE study, through a staged approach, and allows for a more personalized curriculum including a variety of qualifications on offer, generally good to suit mixed ability students.

The school is over-subscribed for entries in Year 7. From September 2021, Year 7 has 7 forms, as opposed to 5 forms in Year 12 and Year 13, and six forms in the remainder of the school, and has a relatively large sixth form.
