Aylesbury Grammar School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 November 2022

Pupils flourish in this exceptional school. They are proud to attend, and demonstrate strong levels of commitment to their education. Leaders eloquently articulate the purpose and values of the school. They have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils share these high aspirations and are eager to do their best, so they work hard and achieve consistently highly in all subjects. The behaviour of pupils is exemplary. They show high levels of respect for each other, staff and visitors. Bullying is not tolerated. On the rare occasion it does happen, pupils have confidence in how staff act swiftly to address any concerns or unkind behaviour. This helps pupils to feel safe. Leaders have developed a broad and ambitious curriculum that extends far beyond the academic. The personal development of pupils is a towering strength of the school. There is an abundance of opportunities designed to develop and nurture pupils' character and talents. Pupils relish the opportunity to make positive contributions to the school and local community. The 'student committee for change' is highly regarded. As part of this, pupils make a significant contribution to school development priorities, such as promoting equality and diversity.
