In September 2001 the school was awarded specialist school status as a Sports College, by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES). It has also been awarded a second specialism as a Language College.

The current headteacher is Miss Peg Hulse, who was previously the headteacher at Portsmouth High School.

[edit] History

It was founded in 1962 in Little Chalfont as an overflow from Dr Challoner's Grammar School due to rapid population growth in the area. In 2005 the school was used as the setting for a television thriller, "Like Father, Like Son", in which a 15 year old schoolboy is accused of stalking a schoolgirl.
