Waddesdon Church of England School is a voluntary aided, Church of England, secondary school. It is administered by the Oxford Diocese.

The school was opened in July 1962, in the village of Waddesdon, in Buckinghamshire. It is a mixed upper school, which takes children from the age of 11 through to the age of 18. The school has approximately 950 pupils, including a sixth form of approximately 200 students.

Waddesdon School was awarded Beacon school status in September 1998 and this was renewed in March 2001. The Beacon Schools programme was phased out in 2005 and was replaced with the Leading Edge Partnership programme. [1] In September 2004, Waddesdon became the lead school in the Aylesbury Vale Leading Edge Partnership, which also included The Grange School and Quarrendon Upper School.

In September 2003 the school was awarded specialist school status as a Visual Arts College, by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). [2]
