Amersham School is a mixed secondary school in Amersham, Buckinghamshire. It is a secondary modern community school[1], which takes children from the age of 11 through to the age of 18. The school has approximately 850 pupils.[2]
In September 2005 the school was designated by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) as a specialist school in Business & Enterprise.[3]
[edit] History
The school opened on its current site in 1964, although at that time it was the Brudenell County Secondary School for girls. Following the opening of the girls' school, the Raans County Secondary School, which had opened in 1956 as a mixed school, became a boys' school. In 1992 Raans School closed. Brudenell became a mixed school, and was renamed the Amersham School.[4][5][6][7]
