Chalfonts Community College is a co-educational secondary school in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire. It is a foundation school, which takes children from the age of 11 through to the age of 18. The school has approximately 1,750 pupils.[1]
In September 2002 the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) awarded the school specialist school status as a Technology College.[2]
In 2008 it was reported that the school was paying sixth form students to teach younger pupils at the school, instead of employing qualified supply teachers. Twenty four students were being paid £5 for fifty minutes of teaching a subject, which they were studying at A-level. The students were given some training and were accompanied by an adult in the classroom.[3][4]
