In September 2005 the school was designated by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES) as a specialist Sports College.[2]
In February 2007 an Ofsted inspection judged the school to be "satisfactory" and recommended that it be placed on special measures.[3] However, a follow up inspection in December 2008 judged the school to be "satisfactory" and no longer in need of special measures.[4]
As of March 2011 it was still rated good by OFSTED.[5]
Burnham Upper School is one of several Buckinghamshire schools which host mobile phone masts. Contracts between Buckinghamshire County Council and various mobile phone operators generate an income of £145,000 per annum, of which about £59,000 comes from contracts for masts that are installed in schools.[6][7]
