The best years of my life have been spent during my time at The Chalfonts Community College and I will always be extremely thankful to the amazing teaching staff who always supported me to ensure my success. The school gave me endless opportunities, both academically and in sports which is why my decision to stay on into the sixth form was so easy. I am proud to say I was a Chalfonts Community College Student. Holly, Head Girl of 2019, now studying Physiotherapy at Brunel University.

Since I started at The Chalfonts in Year 7 I enjoyed every moment of it. Our great sports teams gave me the opportunity to participate to a high standard with great coaches to help. Every teacher that I ever had has been willing to talk and go over any queries to ensure my success. I am proud and happy to say that I went to The Chalfonts Community College - I had a great Sixth Form experience. Llewelyn, Head Boy 2018 now studying Environmental Science at Southampton University

A Level Chemistry at the Chalfonts is a challenging but truly rewarding subject. The course includes a wide variety of modules, ranging from organic chemistry to physical chemistry and many other fascinating topics. You undertake many experiments, both in groups and individually, to help widen your knowledge and expand your laboratory skills. Your teachers will be very supportive and will happily help you if you are struggling. Above all else, they will encourage you to reach your full potential. I would highly recommend this course.
