[edit] History
The school was founded in 1962 in Little Chalfont, Buckinghamshire as an overflow from Dr Challoner's Grammar School in Amersham 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. Many of the pupils were used as extras for the filming including students from Dr Challoner's Grammar School in Amersham
