Welcome to Aylesbury Grammar School

Our Sixth Form is a large and vibrant community.Over 90% of our own students remain to study in the Sixth Form, and we admit a minimum of 17 students from local state and independent schools.Almost all combinations of the Advanced Level courses we offer are possible, and our students proceed to a wide range of degree courses at Universities across the United Kingdom, in Europe and in America; as well as to apprenticeships and straight to the world of work.We see the Sixth Form not only as an opportunity to deepen understanding of a student’s chosen subjects, but also a time when students can pursue a wide range of other interests, responsibilities and leadership opportunities.Our Sixth Form does not solely exist for those who are academically very able. Sixth Form life enables everyone to develop their abilities in an individual way, and to prepare for their next steps in life – whatever they might be.Please see our Sixth Form Prospectus and Options Booklet below for further information.Former students, Old Aylesburians, are to be found in many fields of employment, including medicine, dentistry, law, politics, public service, finance, business, science, industry, the arts, broadcasting, the armed forces, professional sport, education at all levels, recreation and leisure industries and all forms of engineering.We are delighted to welcome back our Old Aylesburians to give talks on their areas of expertise, to adjudicate for events or just simply to offer advice.

Enrichment Activities

We want our students to be challenged to achieve their very best, to flourish in all they do and to share a positive outlook with others. We pride ourselves on the wealth of learning experiences available allowing every individual to develop into an exceptional yet unique young adult. We believe we offer a breadth and quality of opportunity that supports every individual student to try something new and develop their character. Providing opportunities for leadership and enjoyment.

Clubs and Societies
Students are encouraged to join a wide variety of clubs and societies which exist at lunchtime and after school. Clubs linked directly to subject areas, such as Art, Computing, Cookery, Technology and Maths, enhance classroom learning and enjoyment but also allow students to explore ideas outside the curriculum.

We provide a vibrant and safe space allowing all students the exciting opportunities to create and perform innovative work based on a variety of theatre styles and practice.
