About the Grange School
Judged to be a Good School by Ofsted in April 2024, we are a mixed, non-selective 11-18 Foundation secondary school situated in the market town of Aylesbury and ten minutes from the Chiltern Hills – an area of outstanding natural beauty. We are close to Oxford, High Wycombe and Milton Keynes and surrounded by delightful market towns and characterful villages.
We are a supportive team with community at the heart of everything we do. Passion, creativity and inspiring a love of learning are celebrated and embraced. Our relentless professional commitment to supporting and empowering students is both valued and rewarded.
The Grange is 'More Than Just a School':
- We are the enablers for young people to facilitate them to fulfil their academic potential, creative talent and sporting capabilities.
- We are a flourishing community based on an ethos of mutual respect. Where collaboration to create a culture of self-confidence enables both students and staff to flourish. A broad and balanced curriculum, a pioneering transition timetable, wide-ranging extra-curricular programme and an established reputation for outstanding pastoral care creates confident and responsible young people, who are well adjusted to meet the ever changing demands of the 21st century.
- We are a team that values personal development. Our weekly teaching and learning briefings and CPD showcase in our staff newsletter allow us to collectively expand and develop unique and innovative teaching practices to further inspire our students.
- We are an environment that understands the importance of downtime for our staff. Our dynamic Staff Social Committee prides itself on offering a varied programme of social activities and events to allow the opportunity to relax and have fun as a team.
- We support our staff with a robust staff well-being programme. All staff have access to a wealth of free support resources and materials to ensure they feel supported and happy.

The school has a supportive and inclusive environment that is created by both students and teachers. This approach has enabled students to develop both academically and personally.

Overall, The Grange School is committed to promoting equality and diversity.”
- Mohammed U, Head Boy 2023-24My experience of The Grange School has been very positive. I have two children at the school and both are happy, settled and doing well academically. The staff are very responsive to any feedback and I feel well supported as a parent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the school to others.
