Headmaster’s Welcome

Aylesbury Grammar School has a long history of inspiring and nurturing our young people to explore for themselves who they want to be and find their place in the world. 

The value of education and the strength of character of the next generation has never been greater. We are expertly placed to enable our students to flourish academically whilst also ensuring they are well-equipped to understand and meet the challenges they face with empathy and humility.

Through knowing and understanding each individual, not just through their academic achievements, our students flourish in all they do. 

The School is committed to a culture of innovative learning and achievement through  our pioneering expertise, an uncompromised curriculum and life-enriching opportunities across both curricular and extra-curricular activities, all within an extraordinarily caring and supportive environment. 

Our history of nearly 425 years is celebrated in all aspects of school life, none more so than in our House system which provides a sense of ownership, belonging and a healthy level of competition and camaraderie.

Aylesburians are, for many years to come, loyal to their school with many returning to celebrate at Old Aylesburian events, adding to their sense of identity and growth through achievement the School brings throughout their lives. 

We hope you get a sense of what it means to learn and be part of our community and how we might be the right place for your son to nurture his character.
